Frets: Deepening an old, verticalised pit: rock slope instability hazard assessment...

We present a rock slope instability hazard study of the Flône pit (Belgium) by means of a deterministic kinematic stability analysis. The specificity of this study resides in the “digital augmentation” of the field mapping structural database (x 5) by semi-automatic point cloud analysis. Results show that the main instability hazards in the actual pit...

EFG at the European Geothermal PhD Days 2025

Photos credit: Tamás Zsolt Vári. In mid-April 2025, the European Geothermal PhD Days (EGPD) were hosted by the University of Szeged, highlighting one of the most versatile green energy sources...

The water from the Arda River is critically important for agriculture in Northern Greece.

By exposing consumers and industries to prices that better reflect the geography of electricity production, European countries would create powerful incentives to improve the efficiency of the entire system.

COP30: The Global South’s moment

COP30 must be a turning point – led by the Global South, backed by the EU. Climate, trade, and finance must align, and action must replace promises. With unity, urgency, and a clear agenda, real progress is not just possible, but essential.

The EU will make its pitch Tuesday, searching for momentum as sanctions stall, the U.S. equivocates and some eye a Russian fuel return.

The European Parliament’s budget committee has declared the proposed European Competitiveness Fund “inadequate” and “not fit for purpose” in a report on the EU’s next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). It also called for the creation of a standalon...

The French government has launched a platform to pair universities and research organisations with international researchers looking to relocate. Called Choose France for Science, the platform is particularly interested in attracting researchers workin...

Since Ursula von der Leyen started her second mandate at the helm of the European Commission, one thing has become abundantly clear: the EU needs to focus its efforts on defence and competitiveness so it can protect itself from Russian aggression, whil...

Official drafts of Horizon Europe’s 2025 work programmes have been published by the European Commission, detailing changes in topics and budgets compared with earlier versions shared by Science|Business over the past few months. Here are some of the mo...

While much of the talk in Brussels currently centres on the next research and innovation programme, to begin in 2028, there is still plenty to be done in the final years of Horizon Europe, including the launch of new partnerships.

The mission, jointly operated by the United States and India, will measure minute changes to land, ice, and ecosystems around the globe.

Sir David says his new film Ocean is one of the most important of his career.

New research shows that elevation changes and earthquakes in Italy’s Campi Flegrei volcanic area are caused by rising pressure in a geothermal reservoir. Channeling water runoff or lowering groundwater levels may reduce risks for surrounding communities.

Scientists observed a once-theorized process ferrying microplastics into the deep ocean.

The "Blue Marble" was the first photo of the whole Earth and the only ever taken by a human. Fifty years on, new images of the planet reveal visible changes to the Earth's surface.

A Geologic Map of the Asteroid Belt

Scientists leveraged a global camera network and doorbell cameras to track dozens of meteorites to their asteroid families.

The "age of stratospheric air" measures the speed of the global transport circulation in the stratosphere, which is crucial for understanding the distribution of important trace gases, like ozone.

In today’s blog we’re having a chat with our very own Dr Lucia Perez-Diaz. As Lucia put it at the start of this year’s General Assembly, us scientists get to wear many “hats”, and she lives up to that statement. Besides a brilliant geoscientist, she is...

This paper presents a methodology to develop the integrated climate change transition and physical risk assessment of industrial companies in Europe, Northern America and Australia.

AI is here, and when I say here, I mean e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. For all you know, this blog may have been written by an algorithm (it wasn’t — I’m not a robot, promise. Or am I?). In what feels like the blink of an eye, AI has gone from a curiosity to a f...

Bracing the elements to be rewarded with new data — and spectacular views in the process — can be an experience of a lifetime. Yet, zooming out of the easily romanticized image can quickly paint a different scene, where negative experiences from fieldw...

Jupiter’s moon Io is the most volcanically active world in our solar system, with hundreds of volcanoes that constantly erupt on its ever renewing surface. Although Io always points the same side toward Jupiter in its orbit around the gas giant, two ot...

In the age of climate change, glaciers across the Arctic are melting, consequently reducing regional freshwater supplies and contributing to the ongoing rise in global sea levels. But how fast do they melt? And is it possible to predict that? A new stu...

New research presented at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly shows that mineral dust carried on the wind from North Africa is not only reducing photovoltaic electricity generation across Europe but also making it harder to predict.

The creation of three "dire wolf" pups has raised hopes that it may be possible to resurrect extinct animals. But some scientists have grave concerns.

Forests are vital to the health of our planet. Covering nearly one-third of the Earth’s surface, they support entire ecosystems and countless unique species. But not all forests are the same. While all forest types play a critical role in sustaining li...

Yesterday, the European Geosciences Union (EGU) hosted a vibrant and impactful event focused on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) within the geosciences community. This networking session provided an open and welcoming space for participants to ...

Geology sans frontières

Geology doesn’t stop at international borders, so BGS is working with neighbouring geological surveys and research institutes to solve common problems with the geology they share.
