2026 Pan-GLASS Conference

Dates: 06-09 July 2026
Location: Stuttgart, Germany
Abstract Submission Deadline: 28 February 2026

The GEWEX Global Land-Atmosphere System Studies Panel (GLASS) will hold its first Pan-GLASS Conference, “Back to the Drawing Board: From Fundamentals to Improved Models of the Coupled Land-Atmosphere System” (Pan-GLASS 2026). This conference is organized and performed by the Institute of Physics and Meteorology of the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany, and the GLASS Panel with support of the International GEWEX Project Office of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) and will take place in Stuttgart from 06-09 July 2026.

Pan-GLASS 2026 will bring together experts on Earth system, weather, and climate research, soil and vegetation processes, surface fluxes, planetary boundary layer transport processes, clouds and precipitation, and machine learning. At the conference, observationalists, theoreticians, and modelers will join to discuss the key issues of land-atmosphere science. The program will include all aspects and methods of modeling and observing land-atmosphere interactions across different temporal-spatial scales: e.g., from diurnal to decadal; from ground-based measurements to satellite data; from large-eddy simulations to global earth system models. The topical areas will cover a wide spectrum from process understanding to parametrization development such as surface fluxes and their driving variables, the effects of land surface heterogeneity, evapotranspiration and entrainment, cloud and precipitation feedbacks; advanced observations including data processing and quality control; and idealized modeling to operational forecasting from subseasonal to seasonal, and prediction from seasonal to decadal and century and even longer timescales. The key objectives of this conference are to connect the land-atmosphere interactions community as well as to achieve progress in the understanding and modeling of the land-atmosphere system, to coordinate current international initiatives and make plans for the future.

ParaChute International Conference

Dates: 13–17 July 2026
Location: Reading, UK
Abstract Submission Deadline: 6 February 2026

Abstract submissions are welcome for the ParaChute conference, which will be held 13-17 July 2026 in Reading, UK and is organized by the ParaChute program. The focus of the conference is on turbulence and convection in km and sub-km scale models, and we are seeking contributions on the following conference themes: 

  1. Observing turbulent and convective processes 
  2. Representing the turbulent grey zone 
  3. Representing the convective grey zone 
  4. Interactions between microphysics and turbulence 
  5. Role of dynamics representation in representing turbulent processes 
  6. Upscale transfer of turbulence-driven uncertainty in predictability 
  7. Diurnal cycle of deep convection 

Abstracts should have at most 400 words and submissions are limited to two per participant. 

Some limited funding is available to support or partially support the attendance of a few early career researchers who would otherwise not be able to join. If you would like to be considered for early career scientist funding support, please indicate this in the submission form. An early career scientist is defined as a student, a PhD candidate, or a practicing scientist who received their highest certificate (e.g. BSc, MSc or PhD) within the past seven years. 

Please note that there is no abstract submission fee. A conference fee will be charged at the point of registration following the announcement of the program schedule in March 2026. This fee is expected to be no more than £300, and student and early-bird discounts will likely be offered. Virtual participation will be accommodated. Visit the conference webpage to submit your abstracts: https://research.reading.ac.uk/parachute/. 

6th Baltic Earth Conference 2026

Dates: 13–17 April 2026
Location: Heringsdorf, Germany
Deadline Poster Submission: 12 February 2026

Baltic Earth brings together a broad international research community around scientific issues relevant for societal efforts to achieve sustainability in the region. Baltic Earth targets the atmosphere, land and marine environment of the Baltic Sea, its drainage basin and nearby areas with relevance for the Baltic Sea region. Baltic Earth has entered a new phase, called Baltic Earth 2.0.

The conference sessions reflect the research themes of the new Baltic Earth 2.0 science plan. The topics listed below are preliminary and indicate the scope of the conference.

2nd GEWEX Earth’s Energy Imbalance Assessment Workshop

Dates: 1 – 5 June 2026
Location: Pasadena, CA, USA
Abstract Submission deadline: 31 January 2026

The approach adopted in the GEWEX-Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) assessment is to design an intercomparison of EEI estimates and associated uncertainty. This intercomparison enables progress on:

  1. Assessing the quality of different EEI records
  2. Understanding the sources of uncertainty in different EEI estimates
  3. Understanding the causes for the spread in EEI estimates
  4. Quantifying and understanding EEI time variability including trends
  5. Improving regional earth energy and heat uptake estimates

Main Goals for this workshop:

  1. Assess closure of Earth’s energy budget from the top of the atmosphere to the bottom of the ocean.
  2. Advance our understanding of the causes of ocean heat content and energy balance variations.
  3. Explain the spread across EEI estimates; derive and recommend methods that reduce and quantify EEI uncertainty.
  4. Identify gaps, challenges and opportunities for the EEI observing system of the future.

EEI assessment Workshop Themes include:

46th Scientific Assembly of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) and Associated Events (COSPAR 2026)

Dates: 1–9 August 2026
Location: Florence, Italy
Abstract Submission Deadline: 13 February 2026 (submission opens 8 November 2025)

The theme of COSPAR 2026, “Sustainable Space Research for the Planet”, underscores the collective responsibility to pursue scientific advancement with a deep awareness of our environmental impact. Approximately 150 meetings will cover the fields of COSPAR Scientific Commissions, Panels, and Task Groups, including “The Earth’s Surface, Meteorology and Climate”.
