Nature-based coastal solutions (NBCS) – such as saltmarsh and mangrove restoration, living shorelines, beach and dune rehabilitation, and reef structures (artificial and natural) – are increasingly promoted as sustainable responses to the complex challenges of coastal zone management. These approaches aim to harness natural processes to stabilise coastlines, reduce flood and erosion risk, enhance biodiversity, and provide co-benefits, including carbon storage and improved water quality. While the physical and ecological advantages of NBCS are supported by growing evidence, significant uncertainties remain about their long-term effectiveness, particularly under changing climate and socioeconomic conditions. These knowledge gaps are especially critical for informing policy and investment decisions in coastal infrastructure and adaptation strategies. We invite contributions that integrate coastal geoscience, engineering, and broader system-level thinking to evaluate the long-term performance, risks, and trade-offs of NBCS across diverse environmental and governance contexts. We encourage submissions that include, but are not limited to:

(a) Case studies on NBCS implementation across varied coastal geomorphologies and hydroclimatic regimes, with evidence of long-term outcomes or monitoring data;
(b) Modelling studies that assess NBCS performance under future climate and sea-level rise scenarios;
(c) Innovations in field methods, remote sensing, and data integration for evaluating NBCS impacts on geomorphic and ecological processes;
(d) Systems-based approaches (e.g., coupled human–natural models, scenario planning) that address feedbacks between NBCS, coastal dynamics, and socioeconomic systems;
(e) Studies that focus on advancing the engineering design of NBCS and may include recommendations for types and values of design parameters and criteria;
(f) Perspectives on the institutional, regulatory, and financial frameworks shaping the deployment and long-term maintenance of NBCS.

We particularly (a) welcome interdisciplinary studies that combine geoscientific analysis with insights from ecology, engineering, planning, and policy, and (b) encourage dialogue on how transdisciplinary approaches can help guide the design, implementation, and long-term governance of effective NBCS.

This session explores mythogenic landscapes as environments that generate and shape the creation, form, and content of myths, imaginaries, beliefs, and local narratives. In doing so, they exert a profound influence on communities and cultures. Within this context, one can refer to an abiotic cultural factor – the impact of geodiversity on humans and their cultural expressions. This factor often gives rise to distinctive forms of relationships between humans and the environment, operating at both symbolic and utilitarian levels. Mythogenic landscapes have shaped imaginaries and beliefs expressed in both verbal and non-verbal forms. Interpretations of extreme events and ideas about the origins of geomorphological features have contributed to the development of local geofolklore, including geomyths. Such cultural expressions form an important part of the intangible dimension of geoheritage, which should be evaluated not only in terms of scientific values but also for their cultural and culture-shaping significance. Traditional interpretations of the origins of landforms and geomorphological processes, geohazards and the causes of hydrometeorological events – together with the myths and legends associated with them – create a network of interrelations that vividly illustrate human and environment interactions. This synergy has strengthened the once-overlooked, but now increasingly recognized, need to protect geoheritage. Incorporating a humanities perspective into the study of geological processes, landforms, and hydrometeorological phenomena enhances the value of geosites as elements of the geo-cultural heritage of civilization. Such an approach not only supports the development of geotourism but also holds significant potential for geoeducation.
Proposed session topics
1. Meteor impacts, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions in myths and oral traditions.
2. Local knowledge of landforms, hydrographic features, geological processes, and hydrometeorological phenomena.
3. Oral traditions as empirical evidence for dating geomorphological processes (e.g. rockfalls, landslides, extreme floods, karst phenomena, hailstorms).
4. Geomythical perspectives in oral traditions and cultural narratives.
5. From geomythology to geoheritage: exploring the symbolic meanings of geosites.
6. Geo-mytho-tourism: developing new local and regional geo-brands.
7. The potential of geomyths for geoeducation and public engagement.

Plenary geomorphology division session and ECS award lecture. This session will consist of the Geomorphology Early Career Scientist Award winner’s lecture, talks from the GM OSPP winners, and additional invited talks.

This is a poster-only session that welcomes contributions about any topic related to geomorphology. If you do not find a GM session that is a good fit for your abstract, this is the place for you. We also particularly welcome contributions about the discipline of geomorphology in general, history of science analyses, interdisciplinary research, career pathways and opportunities, equality-diversity-inclusion (EDI) stories, educational and outreach topics.

Sitting under a tree, you feel the spark of an idea, and suddenly everything falls into place. The following days and tests confirm: you have made a magnificent discovery — so the classical story of scientific genius goes…

But science as a human activity is error-prone, and might be more adequately described as "trial and error". Handling mistakes and setbacks is therefore a key skill of scientists. Yet, we publish only those parts of our research that did work. That is also because a study may have better chances to be accepted for scientific publication if it confirms an accepted theory or reaches a positive result (publication bias). Conversely, the cases that fail in their test of a new method or idea often end up in a drawer (which is why publication bias is also sometimes called the "file drawer effect"). This is potentially a waste of time and resources within our community, as other scientists may set about testing the same idea or model setup without being aware of previous failed attempts.

Thus, we want to turn the story around, and ask you to share 1) those ideas that seemed magnificent but turned out not to be, and 2) the errors, bugs, and mistakes in your work that made the scientific road bumpy. In the spirit of open science and in an interdisciplinary setting, we want to bring the BUGS out of the drawers and into the spotlight. What ideas were torn down or did not work, and what concepts survived in the ashes or were robust despite errors?

We explicitly solicit Blunders, Unexpected Glitches, and Surprises (BUGS) from modeling and field or lab experiments and from all disciplines of the Geosciences.

In a friendly atmosphere, we will learn from each other’s mistakes, understand the impact of errors and abandoned paths on our work, give each other ideas for shared problems, and generate new insights for our science or scientific practice.

Here are some ideas for contributions that we would love to see:
- Ideas that sounded good at first, but turned out to not work.
- Results that presented themselves as great in the first place but turned out to be caused by a bug or measurement error.
- Errors and slip-ups that resulted in insights.
- Failed experiments and negative results.
- Obstacles and dead ends you found and would like to warn others about.

Environmental seismology has matured into a key discipline for exploring Earth surface dynamics across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. Physical, chemical, and biological processes leave measurable imprints in seismic records, whether as discrete events or continuous signatures. Seismic methods are increasingly refined to capture these signals with high resolution, scalable deployment, and integration across diverse observational platforms.
As a community of geomorphologists, geophysicists, glaciologists, hydrologists, volcanologists, engineers, and ecologists, we advance theory, develop methods, and apply seismic observations to pressing questions in Earth surface research and natural hazards.
We invite contributions on methodological and theoretical developments, field and laboratory experiments, and innovative applications. We particularly welcome work that combines seismic observations with complementary data streams (e.g., remote sensing, in-situ monitoring, fiber-optic networks, or meteorological records), as well as studies leveraging data-intensive approaches (e.g., large-scale arrays, distributed acoustic sensing, machine learning, physics-informed modeling).
We anticipate a lively discussion on current challenges in understanding Earth surface processes, opportunities for community-based research and open data initiatives, and the role of seismic methods in addressing urgent questions related to climate change, natural hazard resilience, and coupled Earth system dynamics.
Topical keywords: erosion, landslide, rockfall, debris flow, granular flow, fracturing, stress, snow avalanche, icequake, calving, subglacial processes, karst, bedload, flood, GLOF, early warning, coastal processes, tsunami, eruption, tremor, turbidity current, groundwater, soil moisture, dv/v, noise, HVSR, array, DAS, infrasound, machine learning, classification, signal processing, physics-informed modeling, multi-sensor integration, open data.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming geomorphological research, offering powerful tools for the analysis, modeling, and prediction of Earth surface processes and interplanetary studies. In recent years, the availability of high-resolution environmental data, open-source software, and cloud-based infrastructures has facilitated the widespread adoption of machine learning and deep learning techniques across the geomorphological community. Applications now span multiple domains, including coastal dynamics, fluvial morphology, hillslope processes, karst systems, and soil erosion, with tasks ranging from landform classification to hazard mapping and change detection.
This session welcomes contributions exploring the integration of AI and data-driven methodologies in geomorphology. We invite studies applying supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, ensemble models, object detection, clustering, or dimensionality reduction techniques to analyze geomorphic features and processes. We particularly encourage submissions focusing on innovative workflows, reproducible pipelines, transfer learning, hybrid modeling, and the integration of remote sensing or DEM-derived datasets. Contributions addressing methodological challenges, model interpretability, and equity in data and tool access across different geographic regions are also welcome. Furthermore, contributions on remote sensing studies and AI applications in interplanetary geomorphology represent a step forward for our session.
The session aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among geomorphologists, data scientists, and Earth system modelers, and to outline future research directions toward a more transparent, inclusive, and methodologically robust use of AI in the geomorphological sciences.

Sediment transport is a fundamental component of all geomorphic systems (including fluvial, aeolian, coastal, hillslopes and glacial), yet it is something that we still find surprisingly difficult both to monitor and to model. Robust data on where and how sediment transport occurs are needed to address outstanding research questions, including the spatial and temporal controls on critical shear stress, the influence of varying grain size distributions, and the impact of large magnitude events. Recent developments have provided a) new opportunities for measuring sediment transport in the field; and b) new ways to represent sediment transport in both physical laboratory models and in numerical models. These developments include (but are not limited to) the application of techniques such as seismic and acoustic monitoring, 3D imaging (e.g. CT and MRI scanning), deployment of sensors such as accelerometers, replication of field topography using 3D printing, use of luminescence as a sediment tracer, remote sensing of turbidity, discrete numerical modelling, and new statistical approaches.

In this session we welcome contributions from all areas of geomorphology that develop new methods for monitoring and modelling all types of sediment transport, or that showcase an application of such methods. Contributions from ECRs and underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged.

Over recent decades, geochronological techniques such as cosmogenic nuclides, thermochronology, radiocarbon and luminescence dating have improved in accuracy, precision and temporal range. Developments in geochronological methods, data treatment and landscape evolution models have provided new insights into the timing, rates and magnitude of earth surface processes. The combination of geochronological data from different techniques with numerical modeling has enormous potential for improving our understanding of landscape evolution.

This session includes studies ranging from erosion rates, sediment provenance, burial and transport times, bedrock exposure, surface uplift rates, cooling histories and landscape dynamics to technical developments and novel applications of key Quaternary geochronometers such as cosmogenic nuclides and luminescence. We welcome contributions that apply novel geochronological methods, that combine geochronological techniques with numerical modeling or landscape evolution analyses, and that highlight the latest developments and open questions in the application of geochronometers to landscape evolution problems.

Imaging the Earth’s surface and reconstructing its topography to study the landscape and (sub-)surface processes has advanced rapidly over the past two decades, sometimes separately within different geoscience disciplines. New generations of satellites, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), LiDAR systems, Structure-from-Motion (SfM) methods, ground-based systems, and deep learning approaches have made 2D, 3D, and 4D (time series) data acquisition easier, cheaper, and more precise. The spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions of the measurements cover wide ranges of scales, offering the opportunity to study the evolution of the ground surface from local to regional scale with unprecedented detail. Equipped with optimized workflows ranging from digitizing analogue data – such as historical aerial photographs – to processing near-continuous records of topographic change, geoscientists now have a variety of tools to better understand our rapidly changing environments and disentangle anthropogenic from natural drivers.

However, challenges still exist at both methodological and application levels. How to properly acquire images and 3D data in harsh, remote or non-ideal environments? How to process unknown, damaged and/or poorly overlapping digitized analogue photographs? How to assess measurement precision and incorporate this uncertainty in the results and interpretation? How to model complex camera distortions and/or the resulting systematic error? How to deal with large, heterogeneous time series and multi-modal data sets? These questions exemplify situations commonly faced by geoscientists.

In the present session, we invite contributions from a broad range of geoscience disciplines (geomorphology, glaciology, volcanology, hydrology, soil sciences, etc.) to share perspectives about the opportunities, limitations, and challenges that modern 2-4D surface imaging offers across diverse processes and environments. Contributions can cover any aspect of surface imaging and mapping, from new methods, tools, and processing workflows to precision assessments, time series constructions, and specific applications in geosciences. We especially welcome contributions that cover 1) novel data acquisition and processing approaches (including image matching, camera distortion correction, complex signal/image and point cloud processing, and time series construction), 2) data acquisition in complex and fast-changing environments, and 3) innovative applications in geosciences.

Sediment transport in geophysical flows spans diverse environments including mountainous regions, rivers, estuaries, coasts, deserts, and engineered settings on Earth, and also shapes planetary surfaces such as Mars, Titan, and Venus. Understanding how sediments move remains a central challenge in hydrological, geomorphological, and planetary sciences. These processes operate across multiple spatial and temporal scales—from the movement of individual particles to landscape evolution—directly affecting geomorphology as well as ecological and biological functions in terrestrial environments, and influencing the structural resilience of built infrastructure.

Critical feedbacks between fluid motion, sediment dynamics, and particle interactions—such as size sorting—drive surface process variability, with implications ranging from hydraulic engineering and hazard risk management to predicting landscape and ecosystem responses.

A) Particle-Scale Interactions and Transport Mechanics:
-Entrainment mechanics in both fluvial and aeolian flows
-Turbulent energy and momentum transfer to particles
-Statistical approaches to upscaling stochastic sediment movement
-Dynamics of granular flow in dry and submerged scenarios
-Effects of grain morphology on sediment and granular transport
-Interactions among mixed-size sediment grains and segregation processes
-Discrete element modeling and upscaling into continuum frameworks

B) Reach-Scale Fluvial and Geomorphic Dynamics:
-Relationships among flow hydraulics, sediment transport, bedform development, and stratigraphy
-Equation development and solution for multiphase flows in rivers and air

-Coastal sediment transport (long-shore, cross-shore) and shoreline evolution
-Reservoir management and sediment process interactions
-Hydraulic structure design (e.g., fish passes, spillways) with consideration of sediment impacts
-Maintenance and management of waterways: dredging, regulation in large river systems

Water is our planet’s most vital resource, and the primary agent in some of the biggest hazards facing society and nature. Recent extreme heat and flood events underline the significance of water both as a threat and as an increasingly volatile resource.
The accurate and timely measurement of streamflow is therefore more critical than ever to enable the management of water for ecology, for people and industry, for flood risk management and for understanding changes to the hydrological regime. Despite this, effective monitoring networks remain scarce, under-resourced, and often under threat on a global scale. Even where they exist, in-situ observational networks are increasingly inadequate when faced with extreme conditions, and lack the precision and spatial coverage to fully represent crucial aspects of the hydrological cycle.

This session aims to tackle this problem by inviting presentations that demonstrate new and improved methods and approaches to streamflow monitoring, including:
1) Innovative methodologies for measuring/modelling/estimating river stream flows;
2) Real-time acquisition of hydrological variables;
3) UAS and satellite remote sensing techniques for hydrological & morphological monitoring;
4) Measurement in extreme conditions associated with the changing climate;
5) Measurement of sudden-onset extreme flows associated with catastrophic events;
6) Strategies to quantify and describe hydro-morphological evolution of rivers;
7) New methods to cope with data-scarce environments;
8) Inter-comparison of innovative & classical models and approaches;
9) Evolution and refinement of existing methods;
10) Guidelines and standards for hydro-morphological streamflow monitoring;
11) Quantification of uncertainties;
12) Development of expert networks to advance methods.

Contributions are welcome with an emphasis on innovation, efficiency, operator safety, and meeting the growing challenges associated with the changing climate, and with natural and anthropogenically driven disasters such as dam failures and flash floods.

Additionally, presentations will be welcomed which explore options for greater collaboration in advancing riverflow methods and which link innovative research to operational monitoring.

frequent and impactful weather-related disasters. Conversely, declines in water availability make monitoring surface water dynamics, including seasonal water body variations, wetland extent, and river morphology changes crucial for environmental management, climate change assessment, and sustainable development. Remote sensing is a critical tool for data collection and observation, especially in regions where field surveys and gauging stations are limited, such as remote or conflict ridden areas and data-poor developing nations. The integration of remotely-sensed variables—like digital elevation models, river width, water extent, water level, flow velocities, and land cover—into hydraulic models offers the potential to significantly enhance our understanding of hydrological processes and improve predictive capabilities.
Research has so far focused on optimising the use of satellite observations, supported by both government and commercial initiatives, and numerous datasets from airborne sensors, including aircraft and drones. Recent advancements in Earth observation (EO) and machine learning have further enhanced the monitoring of floods and inland water dynamics, utilising multi-sensor EO data to detect surface water, even in densely vegetated regions. However, despite these advancements, the update frequency and timeliness of most remote sensing data products are still limited for capturing dynamic hydrological processes, which hinders their use in forecasting and data assimilation. This session invites cutting-edge presentations on advancing surface water and flood monitoring and mapping through remotely-sensed data, focusing on:
- Remote sensing for surface water and flood dynamics, flood hazard and risk mapping including commercial satellite missions and airborne sensors
- The use of remotely-sensed data for calibrating or validating hydrological or hydraulic models
- Data assimilation of remotely-sensed data into hydrological and hydraulic models
- Enhancements in river discretization and monitoring through Earth observations
- Surface water and river flow estimation using remote sensing
- Machine learning and deep learning-based water body mapping and flood predictions
- Ideas for developing multi-satellite data products and services to improve the monitoring of surface water dynamics including floods
Early career and underrepresented scientists are particularly encouraged to participate.

Mountains are iconic landscapes, vital water sources, and home to millions of people. In steep, high-elevation environments such as the Alps, Himalaya, Andes, and Rockies, extreme floods, debris flows, and other catastrophic hazards often originate at altitude and propagate downstream, amplifying their impacts. These events may be widespread or highly localized, and are typically triggered by earthquakes, intense storms, or sequences of compounding factors such as rapid snowpack warming, rain on frozen ground, moraine-dam failures, avalanches, or landslides that initiate further mass mobilization.

Ongoing climate warming is shifting glacier equilibrium lines and freezing zones upslope, exposing vast areas of formerly ice-bound sedimentary material to potential mobilization by extreme floods or mass flows. Their high-altitude position, combined with gravitational potential energy on steep mountain slopes, makes them especially susceptible to cascading hazards in the future.

This session invites contributions that investigate, across spatial and temporal scales:
• catastrophic sediment mobilization and cascading hazard chains
• processes and hazards linked to deposition and runout
• concepts of compounding and cascading dynamics
• connectivity between hillslopes and river networks
• feedbacks between stabilizing and destabilizing slope processes

We welcome presentations employing observational, conceptual, methodological, or modeling approaches, individually or in combination, across diverse mountain environments. Early-career scientists are particularly encouraged to contribute.

Denudational earth surface processes and associated source-to-sink sedimentary fluxes are controlled by a range of environmental drivers and anthropogenic activities, exacerbated by the consequences of climate change. An improved understanding of the key drivers, mechanisms and quantitative rates of denudational dynamics across a range of different spatio-temporal scales and climatic zones is essential for the quantitative analysis of landscape evolution and has also significant societal implications.
There is general agreement that environmental changes and global warming are leading to increased frequencies and intensities of extreme weather and climate events. Such extreme events include, e.g., temperature extremes and droughts, heavy precipitation, storms, pluvial floods and river floods. Scientific studies on possible effects of the increasing frequency and/or intensity of such extreme weather and climate events on geomorphic processes and related earth surface systems are of particular importance as they are addressing key challenges related to the environment in which we live.
This session presents contributions from earth scientists that include a wide spectrum of processes, approaches, methods and techniques, like, e.g., dating, sedimentary records, GIS, remote sensing, observational records, monitoring, experimental studies, and modelling. Several studies have wider systematic relevance and implications, and some presentations highlight contributions of geomorphological research to the ongoing debates on the effects of global environmental changes on geomorphic processes and natural and anthropogenically modified earth surface systems, and for the development of suitable and sustainable mitigation, management and adaption strategies and actions.

Climate change is fundamentally reshaping Earth’s surface by driving unprecedented increases in the frequency and magnitude of hydro-geomorphological and geological hazards. Flooding remains one of the deadliest and most costly natural hazards worldwide, with nearly one billion people exposed and approximately 300 million affected annually, resulting in global losses of around 60 billion US dollars per year. At the same time, landslides and other geohazards pose severe and growing threats, particularly in mountainous and densely populated regions, where they are commonly triggered by intense rainfall, seismic activity, volcanism, and human-induced landscape modifications.
While intensifying extreme rainfall is projected to substantially increase future flood hazard, climate forcing alone does not fully explain observed and emerging risk patterns. Morphodynamic processes, floodplain connectivity, changes in inundation frequency, and sea-level rise play fundamental roles in controlling flood behaviour and impacts. Similarly, geohazards arise from complex interactions among climate variability, land-use change, tectonic activity, and geological processes across diverse environments.
Recent advances in remote-sensing technologies, particularly Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), have transformed the monitoring of ground deformation, slope movements, and terrain instability. These tools complement field observations, experimental approaches, and numerical modelling, enhancing our ability to detect, understand, and anticipate hazardous processes.
This session invites interdisciplinary contributions examining how rivers, hillslopes, and landscapes respond to hydrological, geomorphological, and climatic drivers, and how human interventions (including flood defences, managed floodplains, hard engineering, and land-use planning) amplify or mitigate hazard and risk. We particularly encourage studies addressing morphodynamic controls on flood hazard, climate-driven hazard trends across diverse environments, patterns and drivers of flooding and landslides, and innovative monitoring and modelling approaches that support resilience and sustainable decision-making in hazard-prone regions.

All science has uncertainty. Global challenges such as disaster risk, environmental degradation, and climate change illustrate that an effective dialogue between science and society requires clear communication of uncertainty. Responsible science communication conveys the challenges of managing uncertainty that is inherent in data, models and predictions, facilitating the society to understand the contexts where uncertainty emerges and enabling active participation in discussions. Uncertainty communication can play a major role across the risk management cycle, especially during decision-making, and should be tailored to the audience and the timing of delivery. Therefore, research on quantification and communication of uncertainties deepens our understanding of how to make scientific evidence more actionable in critical moments.

This session invites presentations by individuals and teams on communicating scientific uncertainty to non-expert audiences, addressing topics such as:

(1) Innovative and practical tools (e.g. from social or statistical research) for communicating uncertainty
(2) Pitfalls, challenges and solutions to communicating uncertainty with non-experts
(3) Communicating uncertainty in risk and crisis situations (e.g., natural hazards, climate change, public health crises)

Examples of research fitting into the categories above include a) new, creative ways to visualize different aspects of uncertainty, b) new frameworks to communicate the level of confidence associated with research, c) testing the effectiveness of existing tools and frameworks, such as the categories of “confidence” used in expert reports (e.g., IPCC), or d) research addressing the challenges of communicating high-uncertainty high-impact events.

This session encourages you to share your work and join a community of practice to inform and advance the effective communication of uncertainty in earth and space science.

Debris flows are among the most dangerous natural hazards that threaten people and infrastructure in both mountainous and volcanic areas. The study of the initiation and dynamics of debris flows, along with the characterization of the associated erosion/deposition processes, is of paramount importance for hazard assessment, land-use planning, design of mitigation measures and early-warning systems. In addition, climate change and economic development challenge risk management, and further research is needed to understand the consequences.
A growing number of scientists with diverse backgrounds are studying debris flows. The difficulties in measuring parameters related to their initiation and propagation have progressively prompted research into a wide variety of laboratory experiments and monitoring studies. However, there is a need of improving the quality of instrumental observations that would provide knowledge for more accurate modelling and hazard maps. Nowadays, the combination of distributed sensor networks and remote sensing techniques represents a unique opportunity to gather direct observations of debris flows to better constrain their physical properties. At the same time, computer-aided simulations of physical processes, hazard assessment, and mitigation design are undergoing a revolution due to the widespread adoption of AI and data-driven numerical models. Not only do these developments mark an exciting era for advancing our understanding of complex natural hazards, but they also require researchers from diverse disciplines to collaborate in order to unlock their full potential.
Scientists working in the field of debris flows are invited to present their recent advancements. In addition, contributions from practitioners and decision makers are also welcome. Topics of the session include field studies and documentation, mechanics of debris-flow initiation and propagation, laboratory experiments, modelling, monitoring, impacts of climate change on debris-flow activity, hazard and risk assessment and mapping, early warning, and alarm systems.

Landslides can trigger catastrophic consequences, leading to loss of life and assets. In specific regions, landslides claim more lives than any other natural catastrophe. Anticipating these events proves to be a monumental challenge, encompassing scientific curiosity and vital societal implications, as it provides a means to safeguard lives and property.
This session revolves around methodologies and state-of-the-art approaches in landslide prediction, encompassing aspects like location, timing, magnitude, and the impact of single and multiple slope failures. It spans a range of landslide variations, from abrupt rockfalls to rapid debris flows, and slow-moving slides to sudden rock avalanches. The focus extends from local to global scales.

Contributions are encouraged in the following areas:

Exploring the theoretical facets of predicting natural hazards, with a specific emphasis on landslide prognosis. These submissions may delve into conceptual, mathematical, physical, statistical, numerical, and computational intricacies.
Presenting applied research, supported by real-world instances, that assesses the feasibility of predicting individual or multiple landslides and their defining characteristics, with specific reference to early warning systems and methods based on monitoring data and time series of physical quantities related to slope stability at different scales.
Evaluating the precision of landslide forecasts, comparing the effectiveness of diverse predictive models, demonstrating the integration of landslide predictions into operational systems, and probing the potential of emerging technologies.

Should the session yield fruitful results, noteworthy submissions may be consolidated into a special issue of an international journal.

Human impact on earth surface processes is almost ubiquitous. However, at present, the scale of human impacts upon geomorphic systems is considerably larger than at any point in the past with a plenitude of either direct or indirect impacts on the systems’ structure and function. This session aims to provide a platform for studies on the role of humans as agents of geomorphic change and associated environmental feedbacks. We also welcome studies which conceptionally discuss the importance of geomorphology as a discipline within the overall Anthropocene debate. We look for both, conceptional contributions, and quantitative approaches, e.g. based on modelling and/or field surveys, addressing the effects of human agency on all geomorphological process domains (aeolian, fluvial, cryospheric, coastal, hillslope). This could include, but is not limited to, the effects of construction works, river engineering, land use/management, or climate change. Moreover, this session especially welcomes studies contrasting natural and human dominated systems.

Human activity became a major player of global climatic and environmental change in the course of the late Quaternary, during the Anthropocene. Consequently, it is crucial to understand these changes through the study of former human-environmental interactions at different spatial and temporal scales. Documenting the diversity of human responses and adaptations to climate, landscapes, ecosystems, natural disasters and the changing natural resources availability in different regions of our planet, provides valuable opportunities to learn from the past. To do so, cross-disciplinary studies in Geoarchaeology offer a chance to better understand the archaeological records and landscapes in context of human culture and the hydroclimate-environment nexus over time. This session seeks related interdisciplinary papers and specific geoarchaeological case-studies that deploy various approaches and tools to address the reconstruction of former human-environmental interactions from the Palaeolithic period through the modern. Topics related to records of the Anthropocene from Earth and archaeological science perspectives are welcome. Furthermore, contributions may include (but are not limited to) insights about how people have coped with environmental disasters or abrupt changes in the past; defining sustainability thresholds for farming or resource exploitation; distinguishing the baseline natural and human contributions to environmental changes. Ultimately, we would like to understand how strategies of human resilience and innovation can inform our modern policies for addressing the challenges of the emerging Anthropocene, a time frame dominated by human modulation of surface geomorphological processes and hydroclimate.

Science communication includes the efforts of natural, physical and social scientists, communications professionals, and teams that communicate the process and values of science and scientific findings to non-specialist audiences outside of formal educational settings. The goals of science communication can include enhanced dialogue, understanding, awareness, enthusiasm, influencing sustainable behaviour change, improving decision making, and/or community building. Channels to facilitate science communication can include in-person interaction through teaching and outreach programs, and online through social media, mass media, podcasts, video, or other methods. This session invites presentations by individuals and teams on science communication practice, research, and reflection, addressing questions like:

What kind of communication efforts are you engaging in and how are you doing it?
What are the biggest challenges or successes you’ve had in engaging the public with your work?
How are other disciplines (such as social sciences) informing understanding of audiences, strategies, or effects?
How do you spark joy and foster emotional connection through activities?
How do you allow for co-creation of ideas within a community?
How are you assessing and measuring the positive impacts on society of your endeavours?
What are lessons learned from long-term communication efforts?

This session invites you to share your work and join a community of practice to inform and advance the effective communication of earth and space science.

Mountain ranges experience some of the fastest rates of physical erosion and chemical weathering around the world, making them one of the best places to observe sediment production and transport processes. These dynamic environments host a wide range of processes, such as rockfall, debris flow, hillslope failure, glacial and periglacial erosion, fluvial erosion, transport and deposition, and chemical weathering, that often operate simultaneously, across diverse temporal and spatial scales.

As a result, tracking the interactions between denudation, climatic forcing, tectonic activity, vegetation and land use is complex. Yet, these feedbacks affect both long- and short-term natural surface processes, landscape evolution, and human-environment interactions. Many of these processes are further intensified by climate change, posing increasing threats to the biosphere, mountain settlements and infrastructure. Understanding and quantifying rates of erosion, weathering, transport and deposition within mountain landscapes is a challenging, but crucial research topic in Earth surface processes.

We welcome contributions that (1) investigate the processes of production, mobilisation, transport, and deposition of sediment in mountain landscapes, (2) explore feedbacks between erosion and weathering due to natural and anthropogenic forcings, including climate change, and (3) examine how these processes contribute to natural hazards specific to mountain regions. We invite presentations that employ observational, analytical or modeling approaches in mountain environments across a variety of temporal and spatial scales. We particularly encourage early career scientists to apply for this session.

Our session addresses the generation of signals by tectonic, climatic, base-level, and autogenic processes; their spatial transmission from sources to downstream sinks within fluvial systems; and their temporal preservation or erosion in the stratigraphic record. Terrestrial archives and landforms are fundamental for reconstructing past climatic and tectonic conditions, yet experimental and numerical studies demonstrate that many signals are modified, buffered, or erased during transfer.

The interplay between weathering, denudation, deposition, and preservation makes fluvial source-to-sink signal propagation research inherently multidisciplinary, particularly across sedimentology and geomorphology. For example, lithological properties and weathering rates determine erodibility and system response times, while basin configuration impacts downstream channel dynamics, sediment delivery, and the character of sedimentary variability. Advancing understanding of these interactions is essential to constrain system sensitivity across timescales, and the preservation potential of different signal types.

We invite contributions from projects that advance knowledge of Earth surface dynamics in response to tectonic, climatic, environmental, and weathering controls, with a particular emphasis on integrative approaches that link geomorphic processes, sedimentary archives, and stratigraphic preservation.

Soil erosion and the subsequent transfer of sediments and associated contaminants, including nutrients, heavy metals, pesticides, and organic compounds, are key drivers of water quality degradation, ecosystem functioning, and biogeochemical cycles. Intensifying climate extremes and land use pressures are accelerating erosion processes and altering sediment source to sink pathways, highlighting the need for integrated soil and water management approaches.
This session focuses on the continuum from soil erosion on hillslopes and agricultural lands, through sediment transport within river networks, to deposition and transformation in floodplains, lakes, and reservoirs. Contributions addressing physical, chemical, and biological processes controlling erosion, sediment connectivity, transport, storage, and contaminant fate across spatial and temporal scales are particularly encouraged.

A key highlight of this session is the application of next generation tools to address these challenges. We particularly welcome contributions showcasing:
- Innovative Monitoring: Remote sensing using Sentinel and Landsat missions, high resolution field sensors, tracers, and novel low cost or open-source measurement techniques for erosion and sediment dynamics.
- Advanced Modelling: Process based and empirical models such as SWAT and InVEST, combined with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing platforms including Google Earth Engine to improve prediction, scaling, and uncertainty assessment.
- System Dynamics: Sediment budgets, archive analysis, source attribution, and the influence of human interventions such as hydropower, river regulation, flood management, and soil conservation policies.
- Ecosystem Impacts: Responses of riparian, hyporheic, riverine, and lacustrine ecosystems to changing erosion rates, sediment fluxes, and contaminant loads.
This interdisciplinary session aims to bring together soil scientists, geomorphologists, hydrologists, ecologists, and data scientists to advance understanding and management of erosion driven sediment and contaminant dynamics in a changing environment.

Understanding and managing sediment dynamics and soil conservation are critical to addressing the challenges posed by climate change, land use transformations, and anthropogenic pressures on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This integrated session focuses on advancing knowledge of sediment transport processes, source tracing, and conservation techniques to inform sustainable land and water management practices.

We welcome contributions that:
*Develop innovative field measurements, sediment sampling, and tracing techniques to quantify soil erosion, redistribution, and sediment transit times over various temporal and spatial scales.
*Explore the impacts of human activities (e.g., deforestation, agricultural expansion, pollutant releases) on sedimentary systems and evaluate environmental responses to anthropogenic forcing using recent sediment records from lakes, reservoirs, and river systems.
* Investigate the design, effectiveness, and long-term sustainability of channel control structures and soil conservation techniques, leveraging cutting-edge remote sensing and multi-temporal monitoring technologies.

This session promotes a multidisciplinary approach, linking methods such as geochemical and isotopic tracers, radioisotope studies, sediment budgeting, and bioengineering to understand sediment delivery and ecosystem resilience. It fosters collaboration between soil scientists, hydrologists, geomorphologists, and practitioners, aiming to address critical knowledge gaps in sediment tracing, catchment restoration, and land-use management. Early career scientists are encouraged to contribute their innovative research to this dialogue.

Rock mass deformation and failure at different stress levels (from the brittle regime to the brittle-ductile transition) are controlled by damage processes occurring on different spatial scales, from grain (µm) to geological formation (km) scale. These lead to a progressive increase of micro- and meso-crack intensity in the rock matrix and to the growth of inherited macro-fractures at rock mass scale. Coalescence of these fractures forms large-scale structures such as brittle fault zones, rockslide shear zones, and excavation damage zones (EDZ) in open pit mining and underground construction. Diffuse or localized rock damage have a primary influence on rock properties (strength, elastic moduli, hydraulic and electric properties) and on their evolution across multiple temporal scales spanning from geological time to highly dynamic phenomena as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, slopes and man-made rock structures. In subcritical stress conditions, damage accumulation results in brittle creep processes key to the long-term evolution of geophysical, geomorphological and geo-engineering systems.
Damage and progressive failure processes must be considered to understand the time-dependent hydro-mechanical behaviour of fault damage zones and principal slip zones, and their interplay (e.g. earthquakes vs aseismic creep), volcanic systems and slopes (e.g. slow rock slope deformation vs catastrophic rock slides), as well as the response of rock masses to stress perturbations induced by artificial excavations (tunnels, mines) and loading. At the same time, damage processes control the brittle behaviour of the upper crust and are strongly influenced by intrinsic rock properties (strength, fabric, porosity, anisotropy), geological structures and their inherited damage, as well as by the evolving pressure-temperature with increasing depth and by fluid pressure, transport properties and chemistry.
In this session we will bring together researchers from different communities interested in a better understanding of rock deformation and failure processes and consequence, as well as other related rock mechanics topics. We welcome innovative and novel contributions on experimental studies (both in the laboratory and in situ), continuum / micromechanical analytical and numerical modelling, and applications to fault zones, reservoirs, slope instability and landscape evolution, and engineering applications.

The "Planetary Geomorphology and Surface Processes" session brings together scientists studying how landscapes form, evolve, and erode on Earth and other planetary bodies in our Solar System.
Our session will provide a platform for cross-planetary discussion of the processes that generate and erode landscapes, create stratigraphy, and couple planetary surface dynamics to climatic and tectonic drivers. Considered processes could include aeolian, volcanic, tectonic, fluvial, glacial, periglacial, or as-yet "undetermined" ones.
We welcome contributions on Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, icy satellites of the outer solar system, comets, and/or asteroids, to submit to our session. We believe that an interdisciplinary approach through sharing and discussing ideas across planetary borders is key in answering current questions and for the formation of new ideas, and thus we especially encourage cross-planetary contributions. We particularly welcome contributions from early-career scientists and geomorphologists who are new to planetary science.

Currently arid to sub-humid regions are home to >40% of the world’s population, and many prehistoric and historic cultures developed in these regions. Due to the high sensitivity of drylands to also small-scale environmental changes and anthropogenic activities, ongoing geomorphological processes under the intensified climatic and human pressure of the Anthropocene, but also the Late Quaternary geomorphological and paleoenvironmental evolution as recorded in sediment archives, are becoming increasingly relevant for geological, geomorphological, paleoenvironmental, paleoclimatic and geoarchaeological research. Dryland research is constantly boosted by methodological advances, and especially by emerging linkages with other climatic and geomorphic systems that allow using dryland areas as indicator-regions of global environmental changes.
This session aims to pool contributions dealing with past to recent geomorphological processes and environmental changes spanning the entire Quaternary until today, as well as with all types of sedimentary and morphological archives in dryland areas (dunes, loess, slope deposits, fluvial sediments, alluvial fans, lake and playa sediments, desert pavements, soils, palaeosols etc.) studied on different spatial and temporal scales. Besides case studies on archives and landscapes from individual regions and review studies, cross-disciplinary, methodical and conceptual contributions are especially welcome in this session, e.g., dealing with the special role of aeolian, fluvial, gravitational and biological processes in dryland environments and their preservation in deposits and landforms, the role of such processes for past and present societies, methods to obtain chronological frameworks and process rates, and emerging geo-technologies.

This session welcomes all studies on Mars science and exploration. With many active missions, Mars research is as active as ever, and new data come in on a daily basis. The aim of this session is to bring together disciplines as various as geology, geomorphology, geophysics, and atmospheric science. We look forward to receiving contributions covering both past and present processes, either pure Mars science or comparative planetology (including fieldwork on terrestrial analogues), as well as modeling approaches and laboratory experiments (or any combination of those). New results on Mars science obtained from recent in situ and orbital measurements are particularly encouraged, as well as studies related to upcoming missions and campaigns (ExoMars, Mars Sample Return).

The interactions between aerosols, climate, weather, and society are among the large uncertainties of current atmospheric research. Mineral dust is an important natural source of aerosol with significant implications on radiation, cloud microphysics, atmospheric chemistry, and the carbon cycle via the fertilization of marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Dust impacts snow and ice albedo and can accelerate glacier melt. In addition, properties of dust deposited in sediments and ice cores are important (paleo-)climate indicators.

This interdivisional session -- building bridges between the EGU divisions AS, CL, CR, SSP, BG and GM -- had its first edition in 2004 and it is open to contributions dealing with:

(1) measurements and theoretical concepts of all aspects of the dust cycle (emission, transport, deposition, size distribution, particle characteristics),
(2) numerical simulations of dust on global, regional, and local scales,
(3) meteorological conditions for dust storms,
(4) interactions of dust with clouds and radiation,
(5) influence of dust on atmospheric chemistry,
(6) fertilization of ecosystems through dust deposition,
(7) interactions with the biosphere, cryosphere, and hydrosphere,
(8) any study using dust as a (paleo-)climate indicator, including sediment archives in loess, ice cores, lake sediments, ocean sediments and dunes,
(9) impacts of dust on climate and climate change, and associated feedbacks and uncertainties,
(10) implications of dust for health, transport, energy systems, agriculture, infrastructure, etc., and early warning systems

We especially encourage the submission of papers that integrate different disciplines and/or address the modelling of past, present, and future climates.

We are delighted to announce that in the 23rd edition of the dust session, Dr Claudia Di Biagio (LISA) and Dr. Diego Villanueva (ETHZ) will provide solicited talks about their work on dust radiative properties and dust-driven droplet freezing.

It is well recognized that the coupling between tectonics, climate, and surface processes governs the evolution of mountain belts and sedimentary basins. Yet, the strength of these couplings and their precise impact on landscapes are less constrained. Robust first-order quantitative constraints are therefore needed. These can be derived from geomorphic and sedimentary archives such as longitudinal river profiles, fluvial and marine terraces, landslides, downstream fining trends, growth strata, sediment provenance, sequence stratigraphy, and shifts in depositional environments. Complementary insights can be gained from geodetic analyses (e.g., GPS, UAV, satellite imagery) and innovative geoinformatic approaches. Increasingly, the integration of geochronological methods for quantifying erosion rates and source-to-sink sediment fluxes with landscape evolution, stratigraphic, climatic, and tectonic models is advancing our understanding of how these systems interact across scales.

We invite contributions that use geomorphic, geochronologic and/or sedimentary records to understand tectonic deformation, climate histories, and surface processes, and welcome studies that address their interactions and couplings at a range of spatial and temporal scales. In particular, we encourage coupled catchment-basin studies that take advantage of numerical/physical modelling, geochemical tools for quantifying rates of surface processes (cosmogenic nuclides, low-temperature thermochronology, luminescence dating) and high resolution digital topographic and subsurface data. We invite contributions that address the role of surface processes in modulating rates of deformation and tectonic style, or of tectonics modulating the response of landscapes to climate change.

The evolution of orogens and sedimentary basins is driven by the complex interplay between crustal deformation, mantle dynamics, and climate-driven surface processes. Despite longstanding recognition of their importance, the feedback mechanisms linking erosion, sediment transport and deposition, crustal tectonics, and mantle dynamics—including magmatism—remain poorly understood.
We aim to better understand the overall source to sink system from eroding orogens to subsiding lacustrine or marine basins and their sedimentary infill. Advancing our understanding of these coupled systems requires an interdisciplinary approach. A major challenge lies in quantifying uplift, erosion, subsidence, and sedimentation, while distinguishing the respective roles of crustal deformation, mantle flow, and climate-driven processes—each acting across different spatial and temporal scales and often leaving overlapping signals in the geological record.
This session brings together comprehensive studies that integrate observational data (e.g., field studies, geophysical and well data, thermochronology), theoretical frameworks, and both analogue and numerical modelling. Our goal is to foster dialogue between disciplines and highlight innovative approaches that bridge mantle, lithospheric, crustal, and surface processes.
We welcome contributions that explore the coupling of tectonics and surface processes, including the roles of climate, erosion, sedimentation, and deep Earth dynamics in shaping the Earth's surface over time.

In the past two decades, unexpected and impactful moderate magnitude co-seismic surface rupturing earthquakes occurred in intraplate and low strain regions in Europe, North America, and Australia. Potential active and seismogenic structures in these regions have been frequently overlooked despite capable of hosting moderate-size to large damaging earthquakes. Poorly characterized fault Quaternary activity and seismogenic assessment are conditioned by long recurrence periods, frequently by a lack of Quaternary sediments, and sparse seismic and geodetic networks. Furthermore, older fault systems at these settings prone to reactivation favor active wide fault zones with distributed deformation within a previous deformed bedrock, masking subtle Quaternary deformation. Analyses and investigations for long-term deformation may be useful to recognize a built-in imprint of subtle deformation through time, and to corroborate tectonic activity, but these are under-utilized for seismic hazard analyses, which usually focus on shorter time scales. Evidence for long-term deformation analyses can be provided through geomorphic analyses and detailed geologic and paleoseismologic studies combined with geochronology and geophysical data. All of them may help to constrain regions with seismogenic potential or to reveal Quaternary cryptic structures and distributed Quaternary deformation. Short-term activity and deformation can be investigated using dense local seismic networks, which may further help to associate local instrumental seismicity with faults localization. Depending on the strain and period of observation, remote sensing and geodesy may also highlight noteworthy regions.

In this session, we welcome studies that focus on intraplate deformation using and/or testing methods to investigate surface and sub-surface evidence of Quaternary tectonic deformation and seismic sources characterization. These methods include but are not limited to geology, geomorphology, paleoseismology, geochronology, geophysics, observational/statistical seismology, seismic tomography, and remote sensing/geodesy. We encourage studies on indirect evidence of regional seismicity such as liquefaction, deformed stalactites, and patterns of regional landsliding.

The evolution of orogenic systems is governed by processes operating across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, extending from the asthenosphere through the lithosphere and the Earth’s surface, and acting from seconds to millions of years. Understanding the links between deep-seated, lithospheric and surface processes and their role in orogenic evolution is an increasingly prominent research topic that requires multidisciplinary approaches to gain robust spatio-temporal constraints. This involves the integration of data generated from a variety of techniques such as low- and high-temperature thermochronology, geophysics, tectonics, petrology, geochemistry, sedimentology, structural analysis, geomorphology, and modeling.
Such a strategy enables the reconstruction of the timing, rates, and magnitude of processes driving orogenic evolution, as well as their relationships with mantle, crustal, and surface dynamics.
This session focuses on the intrinsic links between surface and deep-Earth processes in shaping orogenic systems and controlling their spatial and temporal evolution. Topics include the exhumation and surface uplift history of mountain ranges and orogenic plateaus, evolution of foreland and intermountain sedimentary basins, methodological developments on the integration of diverse dataset, landscape evolution, and tectonic plate reconstructions. Research focused on both collisional and subduction-related orogens affected by hinterland extension is welcome.

Volcanic systems are dynamic entities, shaped by the interplay of magmatic, tectonic and geomorphological processes. This session will explore the mechanisms that drive their construction, deformation and evolution, from magma ascent and emplacement to the surface expression of volcanic landforms. Contributions examining the interaction between tectonic stress fields and volcanic activity in influencing edifice growth, deformation and the development of distinctive morphological features in various tectonic and climatic settings are particularly welcome. The geomorphological and sedimentary consequences of volcanism, such as the erosion, transport and redeposition of volcaniclastic materials, are also crucial as they reshape landscapes and affect terrestrial and submarine environments alike. We strongly encourage multidisciplinary approaches, including field studies, remote sensing, geophysical methods and laboratory analyses, to capture the complexities of volcanic systems throughout their lifecycle. Given the prevalence of coastal and submarine volcanic settings, investigations addressing submarine morphology and geophysical characteristics are of particular interest. Case studies from various tectonic environments, including arc, rift, hotspot and intraplate settings, will provide valuable comparative insights. By bringing together volcanology, structural geology, marine geology, geomorphology, and sedimentology, this session aims to promote discussion on how volcanotectonic processes influence volcanic landform evolution and its implications for hazard assessment and risk reduction.

The session deals with the documentation and modelling of the tectonic, deformation and geodetic features of any type of volcanic area, on Earth and in the Solar System. The focus is on advancing our understanding on any type of deformation of active and non-active volcanoes, on the associated behaviours, and the implications for hazards. We welcome contributions based on results from fieldwork, remote-sensing studies, geodetic and geophysical measurements, analytical, analogue and numerical simulations, and laboratory studies of volcanic rocks.
Studies may be focused at the regional scale, investigating the tectonic setting responsible for and controlling volcanic activity, both along divergent and convergent plate boundaries, as well in intraplate settings. At a more local scale, all types of surface deformation in volcanic areas are of interest, such as elastic inflation and deflation, or anelastic processes, including caldera and flank collapses. Deeper, sub-volcanic deformation studies, concerning the emplacement of intrusions, as sills, dikes and laccoliths, are most welcome. We also particularly welcome geophysical data aimed at understanding magmatic processes during volcano unrest. These include geodetic studies obtained mainly through GPS and InSAR, as well as at their modelling to imagine sources.

The session includes, but is not restricted to, the following topics:
• volcanism and regional tectonics;
• formation of magma chambers, laccoliths, and other intrusions;
• dyke and sill propagation, emplacement, and arrest;
• earthquakes and eruptions;
• caldera collapse, resurgence, and unrest;
• flank collapse;
• volcano deformation monitoring;
• volcano deformation and hazard mitigation;
• volcano unrest;
• mechanical properties of rocks in volcanic areas.

Glaciers and ice sheets interact with volcanoes in several ways, including instances where volcanic/geothermal activity alters glacier dynamics or mass balance, via subglacial eruptions or the deposition of supraglacial tephra. Glaciers can also impact volcanism, for example by directly influencing mechanisms of individual eruptions resulting in the construction of distinct edifices. Glaciers may also influence patterns of eruptive activity when mass balance changes adjust the load on volcanic systems, the water resources and hydrothermal systems. However, because of the remoteness of many glacio-volcanic environments, these interactions remain poorly understood, although they are particularly important in polar and high-latitude regions, including coastal and marine settings where ice dynamics affect landscapes from frozen summits to shorelines and the seafloor.

Hazards associated with glacier-volcano interaction can vary from lava flows to volcanic ash, lahars, landslides, pyroclastic flows, submarine eruptions or glacial outburst floods. These can happen consecutively or simultaneously and affect not only the Earth, but also glaciers, rivers and the atmosphere. As accumulating, melting, ripping or drifting glaciers generate signals as well as degassing, inflating/deflating or erupting volcanoes, the challenge is to study, understand and ultimately discriminate these potentially coexisting signals. This challenge also extends to coastal and submarine environments, where coupled cryosphere–volcanic–oceanic processes can impact signals and deposition dynamics on the seafloor. We wish to fully include geophysical observations of current and recent events with geological observations and interpretations of deposits of past events.

We invite contributions that deal with the mitigation of the hazards associated with ice-covered volcanoes or studies focused on volcanic impacts on glaciers and vice versa. Research on recent activity is especially welcomed. This includes geological observations, e.g. of deposits in the field or remote-sensing data, together with experimental and modelling approaches. We particularly encourage abstracts that includes multi-scale and technology-driven approaches. We also invite contributions from any part of the world and other planets on past activity, glaciovolcanic deposits and studies that address climate and environmental change through glaciovolcanic studies.

Underwater landscapes, from shallow coastal zones to deep ocean, are shaped by a complex interplay of geologic, biologic, oceanographic and anthropogenic processes. These dynamic interactions create diverse landforms that reveal valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms driving their formation. Understanding these processes, which operate across varying spatial and temporal scales, is essential for assessing offshore geohazards and ensuring the sustainable management of marine environments.
This interdisciplinary session explores the causes and consequences of processes shaping submarine landforms and seafloor evolution. Topics include erosional and depositional dynamics, marine bioconstructions, gravitational driven and current-induced sediment transport, submarine landslides, active deformation, volcanic activity, faulting and folding, and emphasis is given to subseafloor fluid migration and venting at the seafloor. Contributions may address marine or lacustrine environments across all physiographic regions, including coastal zones, marginal seas, continental shelves and slopes, oceanic plateaus, abyssal hills, mid-ocean ridges and accretionary wedges. We welcome studies that integrate diverse approaches, such as satellite-derived and hydroacoustic seabed characterizations, visual and ROV-based observations, seismic imaging and sedimentary, geochemical, and/or geological sampling. Such interdisciplinary studies provide exciting opportunities to advance quantitative geomorphology, extend it offshore, and deepen our understanding of the processes shaping submarine landscapes.

Deltas and estuaries are critical ecological and socio-economic nexuses, hosting approximately 500 million people within some of the most dynamic environments on Earth. The complex feedback between physical, biological, geochemical, and anthropogenic processes continuously reshapes their hydrology and morphology, driven by a multi-scale interplay of short-term forcings, such as extreme events and human impacts, and long-term controls including tectonics and climate change. As sea-level rise accelerates, sediment supplies decline, and subsidence continues, a deeper understanding of these formative processes is urgent to ensure coastal resilience and to support decision-making under the current climate emergency.

It is essential to understand how evolving processes interact at a system-wide level and how adaptation measures, both nature-based and conventional, can inform management strategies. This session bridges the gap between past records and future evolution by integrating insights from Quaternary geological archives, essential for reconstructing responses to relative sea-level change, with present-day process studies and predictive modelling. By connecting longer-term records with contemporary observations, we aim to place ongoing changes in context and inform sustainable adaptation strategies.

The research presented encompasses inter- and transdisciplinary work focused on the fluvial-to-marine transition zone including the hydrology and geomorphology of changing coastal, deltaic, and estuarine environments across timescales. It includes studies focused on adaptation, restoration, and management strategies, along with the reconstruction of Quaternary sea-level through geological and geomorphological proxies. The session provides a comprehensive overview of the processes and timescales that have shaped, and will continue to shape deltaic, estuarine, and coastal systems.

Coastal landscapes are shaped by a complex interplay of autogenic processes, natural forcings, climate change, and human activities. These interactions drive morphodynamic changes across a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, from rapid shoreline shifts to long-term landscape evolution. This session welcomes novel contributions that investigate coastal change through field observations, GIS analyses, sedimentary records, physical experiments, and the development or application of numerical models. We particularly encourage studies using advanced tools such as UAVs, LiDAR, satellite remote sensing, and AI-based mapping, as well as those that explore reproducibility, uncertainty, and data integration. Submissions may address diverse environments including beaches, dunes, estuaries, deltas, rocky coasts, reefs, and polar shorelines. We invite interdisciplinary approaches that link geomorphology with ecology, policy, or social sciences to address pressing issues such as coastal hazards, resilience, and adaptation. Contributions that challenge disciplinary boundaries or propose new conceptual frameworks are especially encouraged.

Offshore geohazards including earthquakes, mass gravity flows, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis are capable of significant loss of human life and economic disruption. Recent advances in geophysical imaging, scientific ocean drilling, and seafloor instrumentation have increased the understanding of offshore geohazards. However significant knowledge gaps remain in understanding the timing and interplay of geological processes at the origin of geohazards. For example, high-latitude regions are experiencing dynamic changes in response to global warming that can lead to geohazards but are complicated to predict. Forecasting and risk assessments including probabilistic approaches are complex given the uncertainties involved and therefore geohazard quantification is poorly constrained. The sedimentary record of past offshore and coastal hazardous events is often well preserved in marine and lacustrine environments and can be investigated in detail with high-resolution geological and geophysical tools. We welcome contributions that highlight new results, methodologies, monitoring techniques, and lessons learned from case studies in areas of paleoseismology, submarine landslides and sediment flows, tsunami generation, and volcanic processes. We invite contributions from all margins and environments, including lakes. The aim of this session is to bring together the scientific community, marine industry, and governmental agencies involved in geohazard research and management to promote cooperation and better understanding of offshore geohazards.

Global coastal zones are of high ecological and societal values. As the dynamic interface between land, sea, and air, they are heavily impacted by a combination of climate-driven environmental change and human interventions. Approaches to sustainably manage the coastal zone increasingly seek to provide co-benefits of risk mitigation, climate regulation, preserving biodiversity, and supporting coastal community resilience. These require scientific evidence and discourse that integrate across disciplines.

This session invites multi- and inter-disciplinary contributions focusing on coastal processes, their dynamic interactions, and their role in exchanges across coastal interfaces (e.g. land-sea, air-sea, river-sea, …) under a changing climate and changing human activities. We welcome observational, modelling and theoretical studies reporting on processes linked to coastal hydrodynamics, coastal biogeochemistry, coastal ecology, or coastal sediment dynamics and geomorphology. Studies may span the wide range of spatial and temporal scales characteristic of existing and projected change in coastal seascapes and landscapes from the inner shelf shoreward to beaches and dunes, estuaries, intertidal flats, saltmarshes and coastal wetlands. We encourage the submission of holistic Earth system studies that explore the role of the coastal zone for coastal seas’ dynamics including exchanges across coastal under the impact of climate change and human activities. We also encourage studies that focus on impacts of coastal management or coastal adaptation approaches on coastal processes and dynamics, spanning engineered, hybrid, and nature-based options related to changing activities such as coastal protection, tourism, shipping, fisheries and aquaculture, and the expansion of renewable energies and other coastal infrastructure.

Present-day glacial and periglacial processes in cold regions, i.e. arctic and alpine environments, provide modern analogues to processes and climatic changes that took place during the Pleistocene, including gradual retreat or collapse of ice sheets and mountain glaciers, and thawing and shrinking of low-land permafrost. Current geomorphological and glaciological changes in mid-latitude mountain ranges could also serve as a proxy for future changes in high-latitude regions within a context of climate change. Examples are speed-up or disintegration of creeping permafrost features or the relictification of rock glaciers.

For our session we invite contributions that either:
1. investigate present-day glacial and/or periglacial landforms, sediments and processes to describe the current state, to reconstruct past environmental conditions and to predict future scenarios in cold regions; or
2. have a Quaternary focus and aim at enhancing our understanding of past glacial, periglacial and paraglacial processes, also through the application of dating techniques.

Case studies that use a multi-disciplinary approach (e.g. field, laboratory and modelling techniques) and/or that highlight the interaction between the glacial, periglacial and paraglacial cryospheric components in cold regions are particularly welcome.

Mountain glaciers record climate change over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. They are providing valuable and high-resolution archives of Quaternary and Holocene environmental variability while also serving as sentinels of modern and future climate dynamics. As mountain regions respond rapidly to the current Climate Change, there is an increasing need for research that not only reconstructs past glacier extent and dynamics but also integrates these insights with models, remote sensing, and emerging analytical techniques to understand the processes shaping high-altitude environments today and in the future.
This session invites contributions that advance understanding of mountain glaciations through various methodological approaches, including the integration of geomorphological mapping, geochronology, numerical modelling, and palaeoclimate analysis. Studies addressing cross-regional comparisons, hemispheric linkages, and interdisciplinary frameworks are particularly encouraged, as are those that connect Quaternary glaciations with contemporary glacier change, hazards, and water resource management. By bringing together researchers from a range of disciplines and regions, this session aims to provide a platform for both consolidating established knowledge and introducing innovative perspectives, fostering collaboration across temporal, spatial, and disciplinary boundaries.

Glaciers cover roughly 10 percent of the Earth’s surface and help shape landscapes and relief in high latitude regions and many mountain ranges. Subglacial processes, such as sliding, create material that shapes the landscape. Paraglacial processes also have a strong impact on the glacial landscape evolution. Debris that falls upon the ice, or is entrained in it, is advected down the glacier to where it melts out, creating moraines. Existing sediment beneath the glacier can be mobilized by pressurized subglacial water and transported in proglacial rivers or deposited in lakes or fjords. In Arctic and Subarctic regions, interactions between sediment and ice dynamics are actively reforming the geomorphology and hydrological regime of river deltas, impacting their sediment supply. The role and importance of these processes will evolve as glacier dynamics change and hydrology in glacierized catchments responds to climate change.
This session aims at gathering contributions that use modeling, laboratory, field observations, archives, or remote sensing methods, or a combination thereof, to evaluate these evolving processes in Alpine and Arctic regions. We welcome submissions that address these processes across a wide range of timescales, from sub-daily to multi-millennial, including those focused on these dynamics during past climate variations. Additionally, we are interested in research contributions focused on diverse glaciated environments from small alpine glaciers to large Arctic deltas. Research that addresses the changes that occur as climate warms and how these processes interact with other aspects of the Earth system, including glacier dynamics, sea ice, and river deltas, is of particular interest for this session.

The evolution of glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets can have a profound impact on the Earth system. Ice mass growth and decay results in the fluctuation of sea levels, alteration of global air and ocean circulation patterns, sculpting of the landscape, and reorganisation of continental drainage. Landforms and sediments provide important information about the dimensions, distribution, and dynamics of former ice masses. This record can be used to understand ice dynamics, reconstruct climate, and refine our understanding of the future response of ice masses to variations in climate. The glacial geological record is also often compared with observations of the modern-day processes at work on Earth. The aim of this session is to bring together researchers focused on reconstructing past glaciations and understanding glacial processes at all spatial scales and from all parts of the world. We welcome studies of all relevant aspects, for example (i) glacial landforms and sediments, (ii) glacial reconstructions and chronologies, (iii) glaciologic and climatic interpretations, and (iv) numerical modelling. While the focus of the session will be Quaternary glaciations, studies from any geological period are encouraged to fully address the diversity of the topic.

Fluvial systems cover much of the Earth’s surface; they convey water, sediments, and essential nutrients from the uplands to the sea, intermittently transferring these materials from the river channel to the adjacent floodplain. The routing of sediment and water through the channel network initiates complex process-form interactions as the river bed and banks adjust to changes in flow conditions. Despite their ubiquity, little is known about the landform-driven morphodynamic interactions taking place within the channel that ultimately determine patterns of sedimentation and changes of channel form. Furthermore, an understanding of how these process-form interactions scale with the size of the fluvial system is also currently lacking. Recent technological and methodological advances now afford us the opportunity to study and to quantify these process-form interactions in detail across a range of spatial and temporal scales.
This session aims to bring together interdisciplinary researchers working across field, experimental, and numerical modelling approaches who are advancing methods and providing new insights into: (i) sediment transport and morphodynamic functioning of fluvial systems, (ii) evaluating morphological change at variable spatial and temporal scales, such as at event vs. seasonal scales, and (iii) investigating the sedimentology of these river systems. We particularly welcome applications which investigate the morphodynamic response of fluvial systems in all types and sizes and we would specifically like to encourage submissions from early career researchers and students.

Rivers are constantly responding to disturbances ranging from long-term, broad spatial scale disturbances like tectonic uplift or continental glaciation, to more recent disturbances associated with modern climate change and anthropogenic impacts, to evolving channel morphology and local scour. Many systems are responding to multiple disturbances, often simultaneously, which can have cascading impacts on river morphodynamics.

Critical infrastructure, including bridges, dams, levees, flow regulation and river training structures, is inevitably related to the morphodynamics of rivers, estuaries, and coastal areas. While large-scale morphological changes are widely recognized, they are primarily driven by local processes such as flow variability, turbulent structures, sediment entrainment, and continuous water-bed interactions. When infrastructure is introduced into dynamic water environments, it often leads to significant and frequently unintended morphological consequences. Understanding these drivers and responses, including infrastructure-related disturbances, is essential for sustainable water management, risk reduction, and long-term resilience in the context of climate change.

This session explores river response to disturbances of all scales throughout time and space. We welcome field-based research, numerical modeling, theoretical approaches, physical experimentation, and hybrid approaches. We particularly encourage contributions on:

• River management and restoration approaches that utilize geomorphic processes and geomorphic history
• Impacts of built and hybrid structures on flow, sediment transport, and morphology
• Flow-structure interactions and morphodynamic responses to infrastructure under changing conditions
• Advances in remote sensing, monitoring, and AI-based modeling for morphology quantification
• Climate change adaptation, resilience, and risk management in riverine, estuarine, and coastal environments

Are you unsure about how to bring order in the extensive program of the General Assembly? Are you wondering how to tackle this week of science? Are you curious about what EGU and the General Assembly have to offer? Then this is the short course for you!

During this course, we will provide you with tips and tricks on how to handle this large conference and how to make the most out of your week at this year's General Assembly. We'll explain the EGU structure, the difference between EGU and the General Assembly, we will dive into the program groups and we will introduce some key persons that help the Union function.

This is a useful short course for first-time attendees, those who have previously only joined us online, and those who haven’t been to Vienna for a while!

Building a successful academic career is challenging. Doing so while also raising a family can push you to your limits. Many early- and mid-career scientists grapple with balancing family life and academic responsibilities. The fear-of-missing-out dualism between family and academia causes an inner conflict and feeling of injustice and inadequateness. Families often find themselves confronted with what feels like a personal problem when, in reality, it is a shared societal issue. Modern families come in diverse forms, including dual-career parents, single parents, same-sex parents, and various shared parenting arrangements. The academic world must recognize and adapt to this reality, aligning with broader themes of inclusion, participation, and diversity. Therefore, we organise this platform to discuss the challenges and share experiences.

Finding support and confidence in moving forward as an individual is important. As a community, we need to openly discuss parenting in academia so that we can demand and develop sustainable solutions that benefit everyone, rather than repeatedly fighting private battles to follow the academic career dream. Parenthood can also shift your priorities, which may lead you to consider leaving academia altogether or to become a better researcher.

This short course provides a platform that allows an honest exchange on diverse experiences and continue the discussion from previous EGU General Assemblies on this topic. It will:
1. Provide insight into how being a parent impacts everyday academic life.
2. Highlight personal experiences made by a panel of current and previous academic parents.
3. Conclude with an open discussion addressing public discourse on equal parenting and work-life balance.
This course is intended for scientists considering starting a family, current academic parents seeking to connect, and faculty staff responsible for supporting parenting employees.

Peer-review is the heart of quality control when it comes to publishing our scientific results. It is almost exclusively based on voluntary service by the scientific community itself. Yet peer-reviewers are currently the most limited human resource in scientific publishing. Insights about the peer-review process are essential for the successful publication of your manuscript, but the prospect of reviewing scientific manuscripts can appear daunting, especially to early career scientists (ECS). Open questions regarding the role as reviewer, expectations by the journal editors, and the degree of detail, but also ethical responsibilities may lead to doubts. This short course offers the opportunity to meet editors of internationally renowned journals to get answers to those questions and to eliminate the doubts regarding one’s aptitude as a reviewer:
• How is the peer-review process organized? How do editors search for and select reviewers?
• Which forms of peer review exist and what are the main differences?

As part of the course, the EGU peer-review model and the details specific to the EGU journals will be presented. This includes the advantages of the EGU’s interactive open access publishing with multi-stage open peer review. Participants will have the opportunity to indicate their interest in the next edition of the EGU Peer Review Training (Fall 2026), where hands-on experience will be provided through the review of preprints on EGUsphere.
In this short course, there will be plenty of opportunity to raise follow-up questions and have an open discussion about how to become comfortable in the role as reviewer. The short course might be interesting for ECS conducting their first reviews but also for advanced scientists willing to share their experiences as reviewers (and authors).

In April 2023, EPOS, the European Plate Observing System launched the EPOS Data Portal (https://www.ics-c.epos-eu.org/), which provides access to multidisciplinary data, data products, services and software from solid Earth science domain. Currently, ten thematic communities provide input to the EPOS Data Portal through services (APIs): Anthropogenic Hazards, Geological Information and Modelling, Geomagnetic Observations, GNSS Data and Products, Multi-Scale Laboratories, Near Fault Observatories, Satellite Data, Seismology, Tsunami and Volcano Observations.
The EPOS Data Portal enables search and discovery of assets thanks to metadata and visualisation in map, table or graph views, including download of the assets, with the objective to enable multi-, inter- transdisciplinary research by following FAIR principles.
This short course will introduce the EPOS ecosystem and demonstration of integrated virtual research environment where users can stage their data and run Jupyter Notebooks, either from existing examples or their own. We see this interactive coding and development environment as a gate towards faster scientific progress and enabling open science.
It is expected that participants have scientific background in one or more scientific domains listed above. The training especially targets young researchers and all those who need to combine multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary data in their research. The use of the EPOS Platform will simplify data search for Early Career Scientists and potentially help them in accelerating their career development. Feedback from participants will be collected and used for further improvements of the EPOS system.

This short course aims to provide Early Career Scientists with the knowledge and skills on the state-of-the-art methodology for analysing multi-hazard disasters: (Enhanced) Impact Chains. Master students, PhD students, and Postdoctoral researchers with backgrounds in Natural Hazards (NH), Climate (CL), Geodynamic systems (GD), Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences (NP), Geomorphology (GM), and Hydrological Sciences (HS) are welcome to join us to advance their disaster analysis skills.
The increasingly frequent and impactful hazard events that occur simultaneously or in cascade have created a new set of challenges for communities worldwide, requiring a leap forward in both research and science communication. Therefore, the need to develop conceptual and operational frameworks capable of untangling the complex interactions among multiple hazards, their (compounded) impacts, evolving vulnerabilities, exposed elements, and mitigation measures becomes more pressing. This session addresses these needs, providing ECS training in conventional and Enhanced Impact Chains.
Impact Chains are models that were initially developed by UNDRR (2022) to analyse climate-related risks and grew to be applied for multi-hazard, cross-sectoral analyses or flood risk management. Taking the capability of these models a step further, we developed Enhanced Impact Chains as the first tools capable of tracking vulnerability dynamics across time and space in multi-hazard settings.
Leveraging the organisational, visualisation, and analytical prowess of conventional and Enhanced Impact Chains is a game changer for disaster analysis. Such tools equip scientists and practitioners with a clear framework to cut through complexity by identifying key disaster elements (hazards, impacts, vulnerabilities, exposed elements, and adaptation options) and, most importantly, mapping the connections established among them. Combining short theoretical presentations with interactive exercises and discussions, this workshop will guide participants in unlocking the full analytical potential of these essential tools.

Earth System Sciences (ESS) datasets, particularly those generated by high-resolution numerical models, are continuing to increase in terms of resolution and size. These datasets are essential for advancing ESS, supporting critical activities such as climate change policymaking, weather forecasting in the face of increasingly frequent natural disasters, and modern applications like machine learning.

The storage, usability, transfer and shareability of such datasets have become a pressing concern within the scientific community. State-of-the-art applications now produce outputs so large that even the most advanced data centres and infrastructures struggle not only to store them but also to ensure their usability and processability, including by downstream machine learning. Ongoing and upcoming community initiatives, such as digital twins and the 7th Phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP7), are already pushing infrastructures to their limits. With future investment in hardware likely to remain constrained, a critical and viable way forward is to explore (lossy) data compression & reduction that balance efficiency with the needs of diverse stakeholders. Therefore, the interest in compression has grown as a means to 1) make the data volumes more manageable, 2) reduce transfer times and computational costs, while 3) preserving the quality required for downstream scientific analyses.

Nevertheless, many ESS researchers remain cautious about lossy compression, concerned that critical information or features may be lost for specific downstream applications. Identifying these use-case-specific requirements and ensuring they are preserved during compression are essential steps toward building trust so that compression can become widely adopted across the community.

This short course is designed as a practical introduction to compressing ESS datasets using various compression frameworks and to share tips on preserving important data properties throughout the compression process. After completing the hands-on exercises, using either your own or provided data, time will be set aside for debate and discussion to address questions about lossy compression and to exchange wishes and concerns regarding this family of methods. A short document summarising the discussion will be produced and made freely available afterwards.

To learn more about recent advances in data compression, please also join the ESSI2.2 oral and poster sessions.

Why this short course
Earth and environmental sciences thrive on data diversity: from ocean temperatures to biodiversity records, from climate indicators to geological observations. Yet, this very diversity can also be a barrier: different datasets are described with different standards, stored in different formats, and are difficult to connect across research infrastructures. The ENVRI-Hub provides a set of tools to overcome these challenges. It offers researchers a unified framework to discover, access, and reuse complex and multidisciplinary data.

This short course will give researchers a practical introduction to how ENVRI-Hub workflows can directly support their own projects, to build more reproducible and impactful science.

What researchers will learn
By joining this short course, researchers will:
- Get a clear picture of why Essential Variables matter in Earth and environmental sciences and how variable harmonisation improves scientific collaboration;
- Explore datasets through different pathways, including LLM-based search;
- Draft a mini workflow using curated Jupyter notebooks to map and query essential variables and visualise results;
- Share ideas with peers on how ENVRI-Hub workflows could advance their own research projects.

Interactive format
This 1h45min researcher-focused applied training session will blend live demonstrations, guided practice with curated tools, and participation discussions.

The interactive outline will engage participants by offering them an opportunity to:
- Navigate the ENVRI-Hub services and datasets: knowing what’s available and what fits their needs;
- Understand how to integrate ENVRI-Hub analytical tools into their research workflows: from data discovery and annotation to analysis and sharing;

During the past 75 years, radiocarbon dating has been applied across a wide range of disciplines, including, e.g. archaeology, geology, hydrology, geophysics, atmospheric science, oceanography, and paleoclimatology, to name but a few. Radiocarbon analysis is extensively used in environmental research as a chronometer (geochronology) or as a tracer for carbon sources and natural pathways. In the last two decades, advances in accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) have enabled the analysis of very small quantities, as small as tens of micrograms of carbon. This has opened new possibilities, such as dating specific compounds (biomarkers) in sediments and soils. Other innovative applications include distinguishing between old (fossil) and natural (biogenic) carbon or detecting illegal trafficking of wildlife products such as ivory, tortoiseshells, and fur skins. Despite the wide range of applications, archives, and systems studied with the help of radiocarbon dating, the method has a standard workflow, starting from sampling through the preparation and analysis, arriving at the final data that require potential reservoir corrections and calibration.

This short course will provide an overview of radiocarbon dating, highlighting the state-of-the-art methods and their potential in environmental research, particularly in paleoclimatology. After a brief introduction to the method, participants will delve into practical examples of its application in the study of past climates, focusing on the 14C method and how we arrive at the radiocarbon age.
Applications in paleoclimate research and other environmental fields
Sampling and preparation
Calibration programs
We strongly encourage discussions around radiocarbon research and will actively address problems related to sampling and calibration. This collaborative approach will enhance the understanding and application of radiocarbon dating in the respective fields.

Landslide mapping is a crucial activity for many studies in the field of geomorphology. The purpose of this Short Course is to share criteria for the interpretation of remote sensing images such as stereoscopic aerial photographs and LiDAR derived images. The interpretation criteria will be defined and applied in specific hands-on practical examples in a collaborative environment using StereoPhotoMaker, a free and simple yet powerful 3D vision system that can be easily installed on any computer. Cyan-magenta anaglyph glasses will be provided to all participants. Line drawing will be done in QGIS. Simple landslide mapping tasks, increasing in complexity, will allow discussing and sharing ideas and opinions, as well as getting a visual idea of the expected variability behind different types of landslide inventories. This Short Course does not require any specific training or experience, so it is open to early-career researchers, students, and curious geoscientists.

Disclaimer: please note that not everyone can perceive stereoscopic 3D. Check this by simply searching for cyan-magenta stereoscopic anaglyphs online. Cyan-magenta anaglyph 3D glasses are necessary.
