EGU 2016
April 17 - 22, 2016, Vienna, Austria
The General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) is the largest European geosciences event. The 2016 conference took place from 17 to 22 April in Vienna, Austria. With 13650 participating scientists (25% students) from 109 different countries (most represented: Germany 16%, UK 9.5 %, France 7.5% , USA/Italy 7% each, Austria 5.5%), the EGU General Assembly brought together geoscientists from all over the world and from different disciplines of the Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences. Within the five conference days, a total of 4,863 oral, 10,320 poster, and 947 PICO presentations were given in 619 unique scientific sessions.
During the conference we had the opportunity to present our results – that will eventually be published in our first articles – to the international scientific community as posters (Georg, Henriette, Martin, Tilia, Vasco and Wei) and talks (Rebecca and Valeriia). Apart from Tilia – who contributed to the oceanographic session “The North Atlantic: natural variability and global change” (OS1.4), convened by Monika Rhein – we all participated in the interdisciplinary session “Processes and Impacts of climate change in the Arctic realm: from past to future”, convened by Anne de Vernal. These presentations offered the opportunity to get feedback from a broad audience, to discuss our most recent results with other scientists working in the respective fields and to expand our contacts. Especially during our final year it is most important to cultivate our network of contacts for future corporations and job opportunities.
On the first EGU meeting day (18 April), we had the chance to meet our Canada members and ArcTrain PIs for the ArcTrain splinter meeting. During the meeting, we talked about the future plan regarding ArcTrain projects, shared the feedbacks of the floating university and summer school, and shared the experiences of the research stay. This meeting helped us have a better understanding about ongoing projects and ArcTrain activities. On the last EGU meeting day (22 April), we had our ArcTrain session entitled ‘Processes and Impacts of climate change in the Arctic realm: from past to future’. During this session, through the talks and posters presentations, we learnt the current researches on the Arctic study, not only within ‘ArcTrain’, but also with worldwide Arctic scientists like from Norway, Korea etc. This session helped us receive new ideas and research methods, and also broaden our research mind.
Besides the co-organized ArcTrain session "Processes and Impacts of climate change in the Arctic realm: from past to future" (IE4.2/CL4.03/CR1.11/OS1.15) and the main North Atlantic session "The North Atlantic: natural variability and global change" (OS 1.4), also other sessions from the fields of climate research, oceanography and paleoceanography were of interest for us. Those were mainly the sessions: "Polar continental margins and fjords - climate, oceanography, tectonics and geohazards" (CL1.08/BG4.12/CR6.7/OS2.9), "Climate of the Younger Dryas" (CL1.21/BG6.6), "Smaller and Larger Benthic foraminifera: tools to understand modern and ancient environments" (SSP4.4/BG3.5), "Rock magnetism: theory, experiments and observations" (EMRP3.4/GI3.11), "Open Session on Ocean Circulation and Air-Sea Interactions" (OS1.1) and "Polar Climate Predictability and Prediction" (IE4.6/CL3.02/AS1.18/CR1.9/OS1.8).
Students participation in such conferences is invaluable for feedback about results, gaining knowledge and networking within an interdisciplinary setting. We would like to thank ArcTrain for the support (financial and otherwise) to attend.
