SPARCCLE researchers will participate in the European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2025 conference, with presentations covering both SPARCCLE research and related topics.

The General Assembly 2025 of the EGU will take place at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) in Vienna, Austria and online, from 27 April to 2 May 2025.

The EGU General Assembly 2025 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.
