Session programme

DeepSoil 2100 is a network for whole-ecosystem warming experiments. The aim of DeepSoil 2100 is to bring together researchers working on long-term experiments (‘2100’ because IPCC scenarios run until 2100), whole ecosystem manipulations (warming down to 1 m with or without other manipulations such as water and carbon dioxide concentrations), and studying responses of plants, soil biogeochemistry, ecology, etc.

The thematic focus of the AdriaArray Initiative is the understanding of active deformation of the Adriatic plate and its surroundings. AdriaArray is an international initiative to foster collaborative research, capacity and community building, with a focus on the geodynamic processes and the associated geohazards. The AdriaArray initiative fosters the scientific exchange and cooperation especially of early career scientists. We would like to meet with interested colleagues at EGU to discuss the status of the experiment and coordinate the key activities to be carried out in the second half of 2022.

We would like to organise a meeting of the Executive Committee of ORFEUS at EGU. ORFEUS (Observatories and Research Facilities for European Seismology, http://orfeus-eu.org/) is a non-profit foundation that promotes seismology in the Euro-Mediterranean area through the collection, archival and distribution of seismic waveform data, metadata, and closely related services and products. The data and services are collected or developed at national level by more than 60 contributing Institutions in Pan-Europe. They are further developed, integrated, standardized, homogenized and promoted through ORFEUS.

This is a splinter meeting of the COSPAR International Geospace Systems Program (IGSP) task group which aims to work toward a COSPAR scientific roadmap for the Earth’s magnetosphere system science. We discuss/summarize the science questions towards building community support and stakeholder engagement and prepare for the first public meeting planned to be held in July 2022.

The EURO-FRIEND Project 3 aims at identifying and understanding hydrological variability across different spatial and temporal scales.

The research activities regroup into 4 themes:
1. Methods for detection and quantification of hydrological variability and change in space and time 2. Large scale climate-hydrology interactions 3. Reconstruction and Prediction of hydrological variability at regional to global scale 4. Translating scientific knowledge to policy and decision making system.

During this splinter meeting we will review the latest advances of the group, discuss emerging challenges (hot topics), and potential sources of external funding (research grant, PhD, etc...).

This meeting is open to existing members of the EURO-FRIEND Project-3, as well as to scientists diverse discipline wishing to join our discussion (and the group).

Alongside the 2022 EGU meeting the Joint Working Group/Commission of the International Association of Geomorphologists and the International Geographical Union on "Geomorphology and Society" will take place. During this meeting, planned activities and possible participation in research calls will be discussed.

Acquisition and analysis of geochemical data are pervasive in the Earth, environmental, and planetary sciences, but very little of it is FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). The need for global standards and best practices for geochemical data is increasingly urgent so that scientists can better share geochemical data in a global network of distributed databases (see EGU22 Great Debate GDB4). Standard protocols for exchanging geochemical data among distributed data systems, and for making software tools that support the management, publication, and preservation of geochemical data interoperable still need to be defined and approved by a global community (see EGU22 session ESSI3.2). Best practices need to be defined for researchers and labs to consistently and comprehensively describe samples, data acquisition procedures, and data quality, and these need to be endorsed and promoted. Discovery in many fields will benefit from a global geochemical data network, from the study of global climate change, to present and past biogeochemical cycles, to magmatic processes, to the origin and evolution of our solar system. This Splinter Meeting is intended to continue the discussion of GDB4 and ESSI3.2 and to present and broaden participation in OneGeochemistry, an initiative to build a global geochemical network that develops and adopts geochemical data standards and approaches for their technical and organizational governance.

The Debye mission concept is a proposal to the European Space Agency for a space mission to measure electron physics in the solar wind. At this meeting, the members of the instrument and science team will meet to kick off phase two of the mission planning and proposal preparation.

This meeting aims at presenting and discussing the progress of our efforts to achieve more accurate predictions of electron enhancements in the outer Van Allen belt, pursued in the framework of the EU H2020 SafeSpace project.

The meeting will discuss methodological flaws and issues related to isotope data quality. The application of best available practices in the following topics will support recommendations and the future development of guidelines to preserve isotope data quality from origin to product: (i) sampling and analytical protocols, (ii) calibration approaches, origin and quality of reference materials, (iii) sample manipulation and preparation; (iv) methods of data corrections, normalizations and processing protocols, etc. The discussion will be focused on the determination of future training needs and how to apply high quality methods including appropriate collection, estimation of uncertainties, development of standard operational protocols and tools for Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC), data treatment and management, and use of reference materials. These approaches for high quality data are important to ensure good recommendations in the application of isotope techniques in environmental and hydrological sciences, which have proved to become useful tools in decision making that contribute to UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

When applied to agriculture, geophysics targets physical quantities that indirectly relate to soil and plant properties or hydrological variables. By consequence, Agrogeophysics is a discipline looking for indices to understand the complex interplay between the soil, the plant(s), and the atmosphere.

In the last years, particular attention has been devoted to the development of small-scale studies conducted on a single plant with the aim to translate geophysical observations to state variables governing the soil-plant interactions. On the other hand, we observed a momentum for larger-scale Geophysics using soil proximal to remote sensing in order to map and support agricultural decisions.

In this splinter meeting, we bring the community together to exchange knowledge, good practices, and passion on current trending topics in agrogeophysics.

Attendees will develop their skills in writing for a policy audience with the support of Splinter Session leaders including staff from the UK Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST), the Austrian Institute of Technology Assessment (ITA) and the European Parliament’s Science and Technology Options Assessment panel (STOA).

Course pre-requisites: Attendees are requested to bring along one of their (single-authored or collaborative) publications, to use in the second half of the course. If attendees do not yet have any publications, they may bring along either a complete draft article or an article authored by someone else, which they are familiar with.

Meeting with Biodiversity Task Force members and US2 speakers

ILP (International Lithosphere Program) has a tradition to present its activities during the EGU GA at a meeting open to all interested participants.

Meet with Topical and Executive Editors that are in Vienna to discuss advancements of the journal.

Annual Meeting of the Editorial Board Meeting of Annales Geophysicae

The splinter meeting aims to bring together scientists for preparing further the ICDP ADD-ON (Afar Dallol Drilling: ONset of sedimentary processes in an an active rift basin) full proposal (due January 2023) targeting deep drilling in the Danakil Basin (Afar, Ethiopia). The overarching scientific goal is to get insights into the detailed sedimentary facies evolution in an active rift setting paced by global environmental fluctuations and their interplay with volcano-tectonic events.

During this meeting we will introduce Earth Observation (EO) based applications spanning from agriculture to water and disaster sector developed within the e-shape project and exemplify solutions that not only can support disaster resilience, raise awareness, and risk response capability at the EU level, but can be integrated into users’ daily workflows.

EO based solutions play an important role in supporting stakeholders involved in these areas, from civil society and authorities, or government institutes, but also end users. In this context, the pilot projects developed within the e-shape H2020 project represent concrete examples of services helping authorities, but also enabling service applications.

The aim is to bring together research and scientist communities to discuss about opportunities and challenges, injecting knowledge exchanges on co-design methodologies to develop the operational uptake of mature EO-based services.

Discussion on the future of the workshop theoretical underpinnings of Hydrological Models

This splinter meeting will provide you with the opportunity to give feedback on the European Union's Research Funding Framework Programmes.
This discussion will be hosted by those working within the European Commission and with the funding frameworks.

Meeting of the governing bureau of International Lithosphere program.

Business meeting for HS Officers

I would like to invite all conveners, authors and members of the Hydrological Forecasting (HS4) sub-division to this meeting. This would be an excellent opportunity for early career scientists to network within the community. The meeting will be hybrid and information will be shared later.
