Austrai
EGU26 Dates: 3–8 May 2026 Location: Vienna, Austria, and Online The EGU General Assembly 2026 brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.
Session of interest to the GEWEX Community:
Measurement and Modeling of Soil Processes Across Scales Co-organized by GI5/HS13 Convener: Mahyar NaseriECS Co-conveners: Nima Shokri, Lutz Weihermueller, Yan Jin
This session focuses on the measurement and modeling of soil properties and processes across landscapes, from the pore scale to the field or watershed scale. Organized in collaboration with the International Soil Modeling Consortium (ISMC), the session invites contributions that:
- Measure soil physical and chemical properties in the lab, field, or watershed using tools such as micro-scale imaging, in-situ soil sensors, drones, geophysical methods, radars, and remote sensing platforms.
- Model soil processes using analytical, empirical, statistical, or numerical approaches that link processes across scales, including upscaling and downscaling strategies to address heterogeneity in infiltration, evaporation, salinity dynamics, gas transport, and subsurface mass and energy fluxes.
- Investigate spatiotemporal changes in vadose zone properties at different scales through measurement or modeling campaigns, focusing on natural variability or human-driven changes such as climate variability, sea level rise and salinity intrusion, droughts, freeze-thaw cycles, heavy agricultural machinery impacts, and land management practices in forests, agricultural fields, wetlands, coastal zones, grasslands, deserts, urban soils, and mountainous regions.
Impact of Extreme Events on Biosphere-Atmosphere Exchanges Conveners: Pramit Kumar, Inke Forbrich, Rahul Kashyap, Kazuhito Ichii
This session invites submissions addressing the different aspects of the influence of extreme events on the ecosystem-atmosphere exchanges of gases and energy across scales. Encouraged are long-term measurements to identify such episodes of ‘disturbance’ and examine their impacts on the biosphere-atmosphere exchanges. In addition, submissions are encouraged that leverage in-situ or remotely sensed observations, and ecosystem or Earth system models to identify, measure, and simulate suc
