EGUsphere topics
EGUsphere uses topics to classify preprints. These topics cover a wide range within the Earth, space, and planetary sciences, including education, outreach, inter- and transdisciplinary fields. Since also the EGU General Assembly abstracts and their display materials that are available on EGUsphere are assigned to the same list of topics, all content hosted on EGUsphere is categorized in the same way. We here provide the overview of all EGUsphere topics.
