Seismology as a discipline contributes to a large variety of both basic and applied scientific fields, and addresses urgent questions in the context of both natural resources and natural hazards. The Seismology (SM) Division at EGU aims to strengthen its interdisciplinarity and impact by driving the development from static to dynamic geophysical models, by conducting research that spans from acquisition parameters to petrophysical properties, and by supporting the transition from geo-modelling to geo-technical application. Thereby, the SM Division will be increasingly able to make relevant forecasts and provide valuable information to tackle future challenges in securing natural resources and quantifying natural hazards.
The EGU offers an open and widely recognized forum for discussing a wide range of scientific questions and conducting corresponding research. The impact of geosciences to society has probably never been as high as today. Therefore, we pursue broad and open-minded approaches to tackle important research topics, while simultaneously engaging in interdisciplinary collaborations for the benefit of humanity and our planet.

Hello fellow Seismologists! The exciting time of the EGU General Assembly is upon us, and we are looking forward to reconnecting with all of you at EGU24. Through this blog, we would like to bring your attention to the events that are organised by the Seismology Division and ECS Representatives of the Seismology Division during EGU24. Grab your calendar, and make sure to come and meet us on many of these events! Sunday April 14th 15:00-18:00 – ECS Icebreaker (CopaBeach …
For this Earthquake Watch we are very happy to have Yesim Cubuk-Sabuncu write about the seismicity around the recent eruptions in the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland! Yesim is a postdoctoral researcher in seismology at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, Service and Research Division since 2019. She obtained her Ph.D. in Geophysical Engineering at the Istanbul Technical University, Turkey in 2016. Let’s dive into it! Iceland, also known as the land of fire and ice, hosts 32 Holocene volcanoes (Global Volcanism Program, 2023). …

With this article, authors Richard Kramer, Charlotte Bruland, Laura Ermert, Yang Lu and Steffen Birk would like to draw your attention to an exciting topic and their EGU 24 session Hydro-Seismology: seismic insights into Water Resources in the context of climate change! Critical Resource – The water cycle under the influence of the climate change The balance of our planet’s ecosystems is tied to the water cycle, an interplay of processes profoundly impacted by climate change. This cycle combines the …
In our April Issue, we reflect on EGU24 our biggest General Assembly so far, all the science covered and special events, and ask for your help planning for EGU25 by filling out our quick feedback survey.
Just because the meeting has ended doesn’t mean EGU stops working for you though! If you have stirred up some media interest in your research recently, why not check out our Resource of the Month, the EGU Science-Media Toolkit, get all your Science for Policy questions answered at our next EGU #science4policy Hangout on 6 May and join the first in a new webinar series Uneven Ground examining fieldwork barriers for women, on 7 May.
