Fathom’s research at EGU25
Fathom’s research and development team joined thousands of scientists in Vienna, Austria, for the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2025. This five-day event is one of the world’s leading gatherings for Earth, planetary, and space science, welcoming attendees from across the globe.
As the global leader in flood risk intelligence, Fathom is proud to contribute to the scientific discourse shaping our understanding of the world’s most pressing environmental risks. Following our strong presence at EGU23 and EGU24, in 2025 we returned with a multidisciplinary team of researchers sharing cutting-edge work in flood modeling, climate risk, satellite remote sensing and machine learning.
Throughout the week, Fathom researchers presented talks, posters and co-convened sessions across a diverse set of themes. You can find a summary of our activity below.
