Aims and scope
Geophysical Research Abstracts (GRA) was the conference series publishing the abstracts accepted for the General Assemblies 2005–2019 of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). It links the annual conference programmes listing programme groups, included sessions, and their contributions. The abstracts underwent an access review by the session conveners. From the EGU General Assembly 2020, abstracts and corresponding presentation materials become part of EGUsphere, EGU's interactive community platform, and receive a corresponding EGUsphere DOI.
The following licence and copyright agreement is valid for any abstract submitted to the EGU General Assembly 2018 or later. For abstracts submitted to earlier assemblies, the CC BY 3.0 License was used.
