Observed snow depth trends in the European Alps: 1971 to 2019
- The Cryosphere
- DOI 10.5194/tc-15-1343-2021
- 9 April 2021
Here, we present an Alpine-wide analysis of snow depth from six Alpine countries – Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, and Switzerland – including altogether more than 2000 stations of which more than 800 were used for the trend assessment. Linear trends of monthly mean snow depth between1971 and 2019 showed decreases in snow depth for most stations from November to May.
The enigma of relict large sorted stone stripes in the tropical Ethiopian Highlands
- Earth Surface Dynamics
- DOI 10.5194/esurf-9-145-2021
- 7 April 2021
Large forms of sorted patterned ground belong to the most prominent geomorphic features of periglacial and permafrost environments of the mid-latitudes and polar regions, but they were hitherto unknown in the tropics. Here, we report on relict large sorted stone stripes (up to 1000 m long, 15 m wide, and 2 m deep) on the ca. 4000 m high central Sanetti Plateau of the tropical Bale Mountains in the southern Ethiopian Highlands.
geoChronR – an R package to model, analyze, and visualize age-uncertain data
- Geochronology
- DOI 10.5194/gchron-3-149-2021
- 5 April 2021
Chronological uncertainty is a hallmark of the paleoenvironmental sciences and geosciences. While many tools have been made available to researchers to quantify age uncertainties suitable for various settings and assumptions, disparate tools and output formats often discourage integrative approaches. Here, we describe geoChronR, an open-source R package to facilitate these tasks.

Run up to vEGU21: Advice for TS presenters and conveners
- Tectonics and Structural Geology
- posted 1 hour ago
Abstracts, Displays and vPICOs: Upload, present and comment At vEGU21, three elements compound all presentations, known as vPICOs: the “Abstract”, the “Display material” and the “Live presentation slide”. Abstracts are the same as for in-person EGU General Assemblies. Each abstract submitted has received a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) to ensure the research is properly attributed and the researchers’ ownership of it is protected. Display materials are a broad-range of long-form detailed material that authors upload to support their abstracts. Authors …

The current COVID-19 situation has profoundly changed our daily lives and has also affected our way to perform and share research. In today’s world a lot of efforts have been made to minimize the impact of working from home and exchange thoughts with colleagues. As for last year the usual annual General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) has been moved online. Thus, it will be virtually hosted over the next two weeks. What we probably missed the most …
