Key hydrological and biogeochemical processes in terrestrial systems are tightly coupled and controlled by soil properties. Process rates are especially large and dynamic at the interfaces between critical zone compartments, i.e., soil, groundwater, plants, and the atmosphere, where coupled processes and feedbacks result in nonlinear responses. However, the failure of scientists to work effectively across traditional disciplinary boundaries have limited the study of the coupled processes occurring at these critical interfaces, as well as our understanding of the critical feedbacks between physical, chemical and biological processes.
Recent advances and findings have shown that a profound understanding of the interaction between hydrological and biogeochemical processes is needed to explain water and mass fluxes occurring at the interfaces between soils and its adjacent compartments. Soil-mediated drivers of coupled hydrological and biogeochemical processes are intrinsically heterogeneous across spatial and temporal scales, spanning several orders of magnitude. Capturing heterogeneity of both states and fluxes of these processes is key to improving our understanding and developing efficient management and adaptation strategies. Due to the development of novel measurement techniques, highly resolved observation of these states and fluxes is now possible. Typically, however, scientific studies are presented and discussed in their specific communities and related conferences, and cross-pollination of ideas and concepts is hindered by this separation.
With this Chapman Conference on soil-mediated drivers, we will bring together scientists from soil systems sciences, hydrology, and biogeochemistry to discuss recent findings dealing with the role and importance of coupled hydrological and biogeochemical processes occurring in the soil system and its interfaces with adjacent compartments. Four key fields of research will be addressed at the proposed conference: 1) coupled abiotic-biotic drivers of organic matter and nutrient transformations and transport across terrestrial-aquatic interfaces; 2) quantification and improved prediction of gas flux exchange in the soil-plant systems; 3) monitoring strategies of soil-mediated processes and drivers from local to catchment scales over time; and, 4) the soil resource as a primary driver of ecosystem services. This proposed conference will facilitate an in-depth exchange of concepts and ideas on soil-mediated drivers of coupled hydrological and biogeochemical processes across spatial and temporal scales. The conference is planned for four days and will consist of oral sessions, a poster session, four open workshop spaces, and a wrap-up session. The invited speakers, and volunteer speakers and contributors will be encouraged to publish their research in a conference proceedings or special issue/section of an international journal. The conference is open to all scientists interested in the proposed topics. We will pay specific attention to attracting early career scientists and Ph.D. students working on topics at the interfaces between the different disciplines, and specifically target underrepresented groups.

Land Use and Ecosystem Change
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) will run an international Summer School on the topic of land use and ecosystem change during August 2019 at the KIT-Campus Alpin, IMK-IFU (Garmisch-Partenkirchen). Master and doctoral students are invited to learn about and discuss a wide range of issues related to ecosystem functioning, socio-ecological systems and land use change, in particular:
Both the biophysical and human processes and concepts needed to understand the broader issues of socio-ecological systems. This includes ecosystem functioning, biodiversity, ecosystem services, resilience, vulnerability, risk management, tipping-points, sustainability and related concepts in the field. We will also explore current understanding of how physical and human environmental changes affect socio-ecological systems, including content on international assessment processes such as the IPCC and IPBES.
Different aspects of land use change processes across geographic scales and for the past, present and future drivers of change. This will include, for example, land abandonment, extensification vs. intensification, deforestation, the role of social networks and knowledge diffusion, the role of pollinators and land management. There will be a focus on land use change assessment methods, including the role of observational data (e.g. from remote sensing and other sources) and land use modelling approaches using interactive exercises and case studies.
Format: The summer school will include a mix of lectures, practical exercises with student presentations and a field excursion. Participation is limited to a max. of 35 students. The cost for travel and accommodation is the student’s own responsibility; KIT will cover lunches, materials and the field excursion.
Lecturers (KIT): Prof. Dr. Almut Arneth, Prof. Dr. Mark Rounsevell, Dr. Richard Fuchs, Dr. Sam Rabin, Dr. Heera Lee, Dr. David Martin Belda, Dr. Calum Brown, Dr. Verena Seufert, Dr. Penelope Whitehorn, Dr. Anita Bayer, Dr. Bumsuk Seo. External keynote speakers not yet confirmed.
Applications: Application deadline is 31 March 2019. Please send a CV and a letter of motivation (limited to one page), signed by your supervisor, to: sylvia.kratz@kit.edu. Successful applicants will be notified in April 2019.
Land use is key for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in an increasingly threatened global environment. Should land system science produce a unifying vision for the planet? How do global narratives for use of land correspond to what people want when striving for access to land across diverse and distinctive regions? How can we support transformations that mutually reinforce global sustainability visions and goals, and people’s aspirations and needs?
Land system science scholars will be confronting such questions at the fourth Open Science Meeting of the Global Land Programme (GLP 4th OSM 2019). It will be held from the 24-26 of April 2019 in Bern, Switzerland and will focus on topics and themes that aim to advance our understanding of how land systems can form the basis for sustainability transformations.
The land system science community is organized within the Global Land Programme (GLP), a Global Research Project of the Future Earth initiative. GLP is an interdisciplinary community of science and practice fostering the study of land systems and the co-design of solutions for global sustainability and represents the largest international research network in this field.
This conference represents a unique opportunity to build and enhance scientific capacity and enable transformations to a sustainable future by identifying core questions, synthesizing research, and setting future agendas. Conference attendees will strive to develop connections between researchers and stakeholders from civil society, government, and the private sector, and to bridge science and decision-making for sustainable management and governance of land use worldwide. +
Land-use and land-cover change are key processes through which humans affect the functioning of the Earth system, contributing to global climate and environmental changes and with impacts on human well-being. Nearly 80% of the land surface are affected one way or another by human activities, 40% of the land area managed as croplands and pastures. In the wake of the Paris agreement, issues of land use are becoming central for achieving a <2°C warming world. What is now a source of greenhouse gases will need to be rapidly transformed into a sink, and maintained that way.
Abstract submissions are now invited to contribute to the workshop, addressing the above topics with modelling or observational studies. These should cover the regional-global scope as indicated above.
Abstracts are limited to 300 words. Participation in the workshop is limited to 70 participants, and abstracts will be selected based on the novelty of the method or results and match to the session objectives.
For submitting an abstract follow instructions at http://final-meeting.luc4c.eu/ +
Located in the very heart of Europe, Switzerland is at the crossroad of the Alps and the Jura mountains; the Rhine and the Rhone rivers; and the home of magnificent glaciers, lakes and a landscape wonderfully tailored by tectonics and erosion through geological time. But it is also a crossroad of cultures that along with its breathtaking nature provides an ideal location for sedimentologists to gather!
The Swiss sedimentological community and the organizing committee cordially invite you to the 19th International Sedimentological Congress 2014 to be held in Geneva, south- western Switzerland. Following successful gatherings in three geographically different countries during the last twelve years (South Africa, Japan and Argentina), the 19th edition of the ISC is returning to the heart of Europe.
Geneva has a long tradition as a venue for major meetings and is a host city to many international organizations. It has been a cultural center for many centuries and home to many creative spirits in the fields of science and art. The Section of Earth & Environmental Sciences of the University of Geneva is one of seven Swiss centers conducting research in all fields of sedimentology. Geneva amalgamates all the advantages of a small city with the facilities and services usually only found in much larger cities! It provides a unique environment for meeting with colleagues in a relaxing atmosphere.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we look forward to introducing you to the smallest of the big capitals. We are sure it will offer the ideal environment to discuss cutting edge sedimentology, as well as to explore new scientific frontiers that are relevant to the various societal challenges facing the 21st century. +
MODFLOW and More is a groundwater modeling conference hosted by the Integrated Groundwater Modeling Center at the Colorado School of Mines every other year. In 2017, we had 260 attendees from government, industry and academia from around the world, presenting on a variety of innovative topics and challenges encountered in hydrologic modeling. The scientific program consists of around 200 poster presentations, 75 oral presentations and 20 keynote presentations given by some of the most prominent researchers in hydrologic science. Additionally, we will host the 2019 Birdsall-Dreiss Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. Laura Crossey and The Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. John Doherty. +
Modelling activities are steadily increasing in all scientific disciplines, ranging from financial to environmental assessments. Sensitivity Analysis is crucial both in the modeling phase and in the interpretation of model results. It contributes to model development, model calibration, model validation, reliability and robustness analysis, decision-making under uncertainty, quality-assurance, and model reduction. Sensitivity analysis is required in policy impact studies according to many national and international regulations.
SAMO conferences are devoted to advances in research on sensitivity analysis methods and their interdisciplinary applications. SAMO Conferences are held every third year. The aim of SAMO is to bring together researchers involved in the development of methods and strategies of sensitivity analysis in all disciplines of science, including physics, operations research, chemistry, biology, nanotechnology, engineering, environmental science, nuclear and industrial safety, economics and finance, etc. +
Mountain weather can be highly variable in space and time and is often extreme, with implications for recreation, agriculture, industry, infrastructure and ecosystems.

This meeting is part of the Royal Meteorological Society Meetings programme, open to all, from expert to enthusiast, for topical discussions on the latest advances in weather and climate. +
Mountainous (either Mediterranean or Alpine) areas are considered sensitive to so-called global change, considered as the combination of climate and land use changes. All panels on climate evolution predict future scenarios of increasing frequency and magnitude of floods which are likely to lead to huge geomorphic adjustments of river channels so major metamorphosis of fluvial systems is expected as a result of global change. Such pressures are likely to give rise to major ecological and economic changes and challenges that governments need to address as a matter of priority. Changes in river flow regimes associated with global change are therefore ushering in a new era, where there is a critical need to evaluate hydro-geomorphological hazards from headwaters to lowland areas (flooding can be not just a problem related to being under the water). A key question is how our understanding of these hazards associated with global change can be improved; improvement has to come from integrated research which includes the climatological and physical conditions that could influence the hydrology and sediment generation and hence the conveyance of water and sediments (including the river’s capacity, i.e. amount of sediment, and competence, i.e. channel deformation) and the vulnerabilities and economic repercussions of changing hydrological hazards (including the evaluation of the hydrogeomorphological risks too). +
