International Ground Water Conference-2025

Dates: 5–7 March 2024
Location: Roorkee, India
Abstract Submission Deadline: Extended to 25 November 2024

The main focus of the Conference is “Groundwater Vision 2047: Towards Water Security under Changing Climate”. Groundwater has emerged as a major resource in safeguarding agriculture and drinking water security in many parts of the globe. India is at present the largest and fastest consumer of groundwater in the world. Integral to life and indispensable for comprehensive growth and development, groundwater is a key resource for India in achieving its holistic vision of a developed nation by 2047, the 100th year of its independence. The role of groundwater in contributing to water security and searching for solutions for its conservation and sustainable management will play a crucial role in meeting future water demands of the population under a changing climate, and to ensure food and water security for both the developed and developing countries.

These increasing uncertainties are posing significant risks to current and future development.

GEWEX Session
Topical Session C – A Broad-Based Community Approach to Modeling, Observations, and Prediction of Water Resources Across Climate Timescales over the continental United States

Conveners: Jeff Basara, Erin Urqhuart and Peter van Oevelen

Session Description:
The Global Energy and Water Exchanges  (GEWEX) core project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is  developing a so-called Regional Hydroclimate Project (H2US) over the continental US   to bring the observational, modeling, and social science communities together to advance the state of the science and our predictive capabilities to better characterize the water, energy, and carbon cycles. Submissions are invited that explore co-design, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to water cycle science for a better understanding and quantification of water resources now and in the future. Especially relevant are papers that explore ways to evaluate, improve and integrate existing surface observational networks across regional to continental scales, in the context of terrestrial-based and spaceborne remote sensing, to support of Earth system modeling of the water-cycle, and regional, national and global operational weather and hydroclimate monitoring and modelling efforts. An outcome of this work is envisioned as a ‘Digital Earth’ representation of the water cycle over the US to better support the water resources community.

ESA Living Planet Symposium

Dates: 23–27 June 2025
Location: Vienna, Austria
Abstract Submission Deadline: 1 December 2024

Held every three years, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Living Planet Symposia are among the world’s premier events on Earth observation. With the climate crisis intensifying, the Living Planet Symposium 2025 (LPS25) emphasizes transitioning from ‘observation to climate action and sustainability for Earth’.

The event provides a forum to present and discuss the latest scientific findings and applications based on satellite data, and to review the contribution that data and technologies have made and could further make in addressing environmental and societal challenges. The symposium will showcase innovative products, services, missions and initiatives, with the overarching goal of demonstrating how science, society, policy-making, businesses and the economy can all benefit from observations made from space.

GEWEX is co-organizing various sessions:

A.01.09 Atmospheric 3D Winds for Weather and Climate 
A.05.11 Next generation cloud climatology
A.07.07 Advancements in Observation of Physical Snow Parameters
A.07.08 Global and regional water cycle in the integrated human-Earth system

Special Issue for the 5th Baltic Earth Conference

Journal: Frontiers in Earth Science
Research Topic:  New Challenges for Baltic Sea Earth System Research
Deadlines:
Manuscript Summary Submission: 10 December 2024 and,
Manuscript Submission: 30 March 2025

The Baltic Sea is an intracontinental marginal sea in Northern Europe, with particular properties which set it apart from most other marginal seas and coastal regions, such as its pronounced salinity dynamics and unique biogeochemical features. But at the same time, it has been one of the best observed and modeled marine and coastal regions in the world and it can serve as an example and provide case studies for other heavily populated coastal regions worldwide.

The Research Topic is rooted in the 5th Baltic Earth Conference in Jurmala, Latvia, 13-17 May 2024, inciting “New Challenges for Baltic Sea Earth System Research”. Contributions from the conference but also welcome manuscripts from other coastal sea regions worldwide related to:

Special Issue in SOIL on Advances in dynamic soil modelling across scales

Journal: Soil
Submission Opens: 01 October 2024
Submission Deadline: 01 October 2025

This special issue (SI) invites papers that study soil dynamics using numerical and statistical models. The focus will be on the development of model-based representations, or digital twins, of soil systems to study soil processes, dynamics, and functions from the pore to the landscape scale and from diurnal dynamics to millennial evolution. By bringing together modellers and models that work on different spatiotemporal scales, we aim at synergies between soil hydrology, soil physics, soil geography, and soil ecology to develop holistic models that consider soils and their functions as dynamic systems. This SI is an initiative of the International Soil Modeling Consortium (ISMC, https://soil-modeling.org/) and the 3-4D Soil models working group (https://dbges.de/en/commissions-and-working-groups/working-groups/wg-3-4d-soil-models), part of the German Soil Science Society.
