Whois & Analysis for egu.eu

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is a non-profit international union in the fields of Earth, planetary, and space sciences.

The organization has headquarters in Munich (Germany).

Membership is open to individuals who are professionally engaged in or associated with these fields and related studies, including students and retired seniors.

Earth (from), otherwise known as the World (especially in geopolitics and geography), is the third planet from the Sun and the only object in the Universe known to harbor life.

It is the densest planet in the Solar System and the largest of the four terrestrial planets.

Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.

Planetary science or, more rarely, planetology, is the scientific study of planets (including Earth), moons, and planetary systems (in particular those of the Solar System) and the processes that form them.

It studies objects ranging in size from micrometeoroids to gas giants, aiming to determine their composition, dynamics, formation, interrelations and history.

It is a strongly interdisciplinary field, originally growing from astronomy and earth science, but which now incorporates many disciplines, including planetary geology (together with geochemistry and geophysics), cosmochemistry, atmospheric science, oceanography, hydrology, theoretical planetary science, glaciology, and exoplanetology.

Allied disciplines include space physics, when concerned with the effects of the Sun on the bodies of the Solar System, and astrobiology.

Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction.

Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime.

The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe.

However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.
