Division on Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems

The Division on Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems (GI) intends to be a forum for developments in instrumentation, technology, methods and data handling used in any field of the various geosciences. By promoting the discussion between specialists from widely diverse fields, advances in instrumentation made in one field might be utilised in other areas also and encourage co-operation, thereby saving separate development work and making new approaches possible, which otherwise might still have to wait for years or even decades.
As nearly every other field of geosciences is related to one or the other instrumentation strategy, many of the GI-sessions are co-organized with sessions from other divisions. Potential contributors to any session are encouraged to evaluate the benefits of a multi-disciplinary discussion versus the specific interest of the own target group.

This month we take a special look at sea ice events and phenomena contributing to the big picture changes we see around the world. Glaciologist Romain Millan discusses the significance of the 251 km2 chunk of ice which broke off Greenland’s Petermann Glacier thirteen years ago.
And Ann-Sofie Zinck, researcher of Antarctic ice shelves, explains why breakaways of parts of ice shelves do not equal sea level rise.
For those who watched the 2019 historical drama series Chernobyl, EGU Policy Manager Chloe Hill reflects on science advice and its challenging role in policy engagement as depicted in this show. On that note, if you’re looking for some real-world experience in science-for-policy, apply now to EGU’s open call for the 2023 Science-Policy Pairing Scheme to work alongside Members of Parliament (MEPs) for up to a week!
