vEGU21: Gather Online

Covering all disciplines of geosciences the EGU General Assembly 2021 will bring together researches from all over the world to present and discuss their findings.

Scientist from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry are involved in co-organizing scientific sessions in various research fields.
