Now in its third year, Eco-Omics highlights the growing frontier of linking omics with Earth system science. We focus on advancing understanding across the Biosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Cryosphere, and Geosphere by combining molecular-level insights with environmental observations. Omics technologies are revealing how organisms and communities function, adapt, and interact, while Earth system science provides long-term monitoring, flux networks, remote sensing, and experimental platforms that capture environmental change across spatial and temporal scales. Together, these approaches open new opportunities to uncover the mechanisms and feedbacks that shape ecosystem resilience and Earth system dynamics.
We invite contributions that integrate omics datasets (metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, lipidomics, spectranomics, ionomics, elementomics, isotopomics) with Earth observations, experimental networks, trait data, or paleo records. We particularly welcome studies that use dedicated experiments at local, regional, or global scales, as well as long-term surveys, monitoring programs, or Earth system models, to connect molecular and ecological processes with large-scale patterns.
By bringing together scientists across disciplines, this session continues to build a community working at the interface of biology, ecology, and geoscience—where Omics and Earth system science converge to transform our understanding of a changing planet.
