The European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2023 brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.
The abstract submission deadline is 10 January 2023, 13:00 CET.
More than ever the changes of the Arctic region in terms of climate change, geopolitical issues, societal resilience and adaptation have enhanced the need for mapping, monitoring, precision navigation and new technologies in all its aspects inspiring new ways of collaborations between the world of science, authorities, business and community.

Green-up, that time when leaves burst forth from Alaska’s deciduous trees, has important implications for the seasonal ecology, society and even meteorology in the state. The unique multi-decadal record of green-up dates in Fairbanks has been used to develop a technique for forecasting green-up and related events in the Interior and more broadly in the boreal forest regions in Alaska. This webinar will be the fourth annual review of the green-up forecasting tools and will provide a look-ahead for green-up for Spring 2023.
