The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is the leading organisation for Earth, planetary and space science research in Europe. The EGU General Assembly 2021 will bring together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. This year, the EGU will be held online from the 19th to the 30th of April and will consist of 2-minute research pitches and break-out poster sessions. During this EEI colloquium, our colleagues will present their 2-minute EGU talk and discuss their research.
