vEGU21
Mission
The European Geosciences Union gathered four artists (not!) in residence for the EGU General Assembly 2021 (vEGU21) from 19–30 April.
This artist residency provided artists and scientists with opportunities to exchange ideas in person during the annual meeting.
Full gallery of all the artists: here.
Mountains out of Microscopes
A collaboration with award-winning Early Career Scientist, Christoph von Hagke, on his research on mountain belt formations. It is very interesting to see the visual similarity between macroscopic formations and microscopic samples of their constituents.
Inspired by the abstract : From Structures to Mountain Belt Dynamics – a global and multidisciplinary perspective.
NASA-ESA Cooperation on the SBG and CHIME Hyperspectral Satellite Missions
International cooperation in space is very important for a sustainable and collaborative way forward. The CHIME mission is one such collaboration between space agencies.
Inspired by the abstract : NASA-ESA Cooperation on the SBG and CHIME Hyperspectral Satellite Missions: a roadmap for the joint Working Group on Cal/Val activities.
Air-Quality Monitoring in India: Model vs. Reality
Researchers, like Arindam Roy of EPFL, are trying to find better ways of representing and treating seemingly chaotic data, in this case with respect to air-quality monitoring in India.
Inspired by the abstract : The representativeness of ground-based air quality monitoring stations: observation and recommendation from Indian cities.
AfriqAir: Make Air Quality Great Again
Researchers, like R Subramanian of KCRC, are doing ground-breaking work in air quality research in Africa, and the importance of proper monitoring in the continent.
Inspired by the abstract : MOPGA/Make Air Quality Great Again: AfriqAir and solution-oriented approaches to improving air quality in the Global South.
