Online European Geosciences Union 2021 with strong PIK participation

The Assembly’s sessions, typically over 500, cover a wide range of topics from climate, energy and resources, the Earth’s internal structure, atmosphere and volcanology, to space and planetary sciences. Due to the ongoing pandemic, all scientific sessions at vEGU21 will be run in the new virtual PICO (vPICO) format, meaning a round of 2-minutes talks to introduce all abstracts of that session + further discussion conducted in both text-based chats and in a video chat.                   

This year's conference features several sessions and presentations by PIK scientists from different departments. Below you can find a selection of sessions that PIK researchers will take part in – for the full program please refer to https://www.egu21.eu/.
