Risk group @ EGU 2015 in Vienna

23 persons of the Risk Group participated to the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly in Vienna, Austria, on 13 April to 17 May 2014. This huge meeting brought together 11’837 scientists from 108 countries. It is always an excellent opportunity for our group to meet new people and other scientists we work with for a long time during the five days of the meeting.

The Risk Group presented 30 contributions which are bellow by alphabetical order given.

Dario presenting his PICO

Pierrick presenting his talk

Liliane presenting her poster
