Report of GLOMAR PhD student Lena Steinmann about her participation in the European Geoscience Union (EGU) General Assembly in Vienna, Austria from 12 - 17 April 2015
I would like to thank GLOMAR for the financial support which allowed me to participate in the annual European Geoscience Union (EGU) General Assembly held from the 12th to 17th of April 2015 in Vienna, Austria (http://www.egu2015.eu/). Almost 12,000 scientists from 108 countries participated in this event, thus, many different scientific topics were covered including planetary science, climate change, geomorphology, volcanology and geophysics. In total, 4,870 talks, 8,489 posters, and 705 PICOs were presented in 577 unique scientific sessions. Taking part in one of the largest geoscience conferences worldwide was a great experience and offered me the opportunity to present my work to a broad audience.
Although it was sometimes a bit difficult to keep track of all the talks, PICOs and poster of the individual sessions, I have the feeling that I greatly benefited from attending this conference. Especially during my poster presentation (title: Reconstruction of caldera collapse and resurgence processes in the offshore sector of the Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy)) which was part of the session Volcanic proceses: Tectonics, Deformation, Geodesy, I had the chance to talk to many renowed scientists working on the same topic or related fields, thereby expanding my scientific network. I received a lot of helpful feedback and suporting comments which added extra confidence to my results. The different talks and poster of the volcanology related sessions were of particular interest for me and offered the opportunity to gain comprehensive insight on recent scientific developments. Furthermore, I also enjoyed the session on the Achievements and perspectives in scientific ocean and continental drilling, which is particulary interesting for me since my project is funded within the DFG's ICDP Priority Programme.
Besides establishing new contacts, the EGU gave me the opportunity to meet friends and colleagues from other countries and institutes which I have not seen in a long time.
Overall, I greatly benefited from attending the EGU in both personal and scientific respect. It was a unique experience to visit such a vast amount of different oral and poster presentations of exellent quality. I could broaden my horizon not only related to my main research field consisting of geophysics and volcanology but also regarding some completly different but equally interesting topics such as recent advances in planetary science. I also became an EGU member in order to stay up to date on the latest development in geoscience research.
