How did the world move from discovering a growing hole in the #ozone layer to actually repairing it?

This #GeoLog post explains how scientific discoveries in the 1970s revealed that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were destroying the ozone layer, and how this evidence led to international cooperation through the Montreal Protocol.

In December 1900, the French Académie des Sciences announced the Prix Pierre Guzman, a bold scientific challenge. The challenge👀? To offer 100,000 francs to anyone who could establish communication with an #extraterrestrial celestial body and receive a reply🤯 - except #Mars, which was considered'' too easy'' due to contemporary beliefs about Martian life.

❓Did you know that #soil is a dynamic #ecosystem that supports 95% of all the food we eat, filters every drop of our drinking water, and silently stores more carbon than all the world’s #forests and the atmosphere combined?
While an estimated 75% of our soils are already degraded, current trends suggest that - without coordinated intervention- up to 90% of the planet’s land surface could be degraded by 2050😮.
What can be done to address this?

🌱 Happy International #Soil Day!

Today, we’re celebrating the remarkable role of soil organic carbon (SOC) in fighting climate change! We'd also like to highlight an incredible piece of #paper in the journal SOIL by Raza et al. (2025) titled “Missing the input: the underrepresentation of plant physiology in global soil carbon research.”

While ‘preprint’ may sound like just a preliminary version of a document that will eventually be #published in an academic journal, preprints shift control from reviewers and editors to authors, who can then decide when their work is ready to be shared with the scientific community.
Here are 3 reasons why you, as a #researcher, should consider preprinting your work.

🌈 What if it's about letting in instead of coming out?

Because identity isn't a one-time, it's an ongoing process of discovery.

In this #GeoLog, EGU's Asmae Ourkiya and Simon Clark share their experiences and invite us to rethink the pressure to come out, focusing instead on self-compassion and authenticity.
