The deadline to submit your abstract and apply for financial support for #EGU26 is 1 December 2025! 💰 If you need help covering the costs of attending, #EGU offers three participation support schemes to make joining the meeting easier. 👉 Details here: egu.eu/5AKEKI
- I have been reelected as President of the Tectonics and Structural Geology Division and Member of the Council (ex officio) of the @egu.eu for another mandate. I want to thank the trust the community put in me. I would do my absolute best to serve the community, and, for that, I count on all of you.
- Congratulations to all my elected colleagues! It will be a pleasure to work with you over the following years. All results here: www.egu.eu/elections/eg...
- It is with great pleasure that I congratulate our community members, Luca Dal Zilio and Christian Teyssier, for this outstanding achievement! We are looking forward to celebrating this at hashtag#EGU26! www.egu.eu/news/1551/eg...

- Reposted by João C. DuarteHello from Lisbon! We’re IDL (Intituto Dom Luiz) — Portugal’s institute for Earth systems research based at the University of Lisbon. We study 🌍 Earth, 🌱 climate, 🌊 oceans, ☁️ atmosphere & 🚀 space to shape a sustainable future. Follow for science, insight & discovery. #EarthScience #Portugal
- Reposted by João C. DuarteNew in @nature.com: research led by @idlearth.bsky.social's @joaocduarte.bsky.social shows the ocean floor off Portugal is peeling away into the mantle. This rare process may explain the 1755 Lisbon M8.7 quake and could mark the initiation of a new subduction zone. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The earthquake occurred on the Hayward Fault, which runs along the east side of the valley. Learn more about what we know, and don't know, about the Hayward Fault and its seismic hazard:
- New paper in Tectonics! This was the result of a visit by Professor Wengang He from the Zunyi Normal University to the @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social. We did some cool sandbox experiments with interesting results! doi.org/10.1029/2024...

DuarteThe region around the Pic Saint-Loup is a popular destination for many EU universities to teach mapping field courses – and there is a reason for it, even besides the great landscape, good food and nice weather.

- Another nice story that deserves to be shared! :) @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social phys.org/news/2025-09...
- Sismo de magnitude 6 no Afeganistão, junto à fronteira com o Paquistão, 200 quilómetros a norte da fronteira entre as placas indiana e euroasiática. O sismo ocorreu a cerca de 8 km de profundidade e teve uma intensidade de VII. Estão confirmadas mais de 600 mortes.
- Do ponto de vista tectónico, esta zona é caracterizada pela convergência entre duas placas tectónicas, o que gera o desenvolvimento da cadeia de montanhas dos Himalais, do Planalto do Tibete e de um conjunto de outras cadeias montanhosas junto à fronteira entre o Afeganistão e o Paquistão.
