Geophysics conferences

AGU26 brings the Earth and space science community to San Francisco on 7–11 December 2026 for research presentations, scientific exchange, workshops and professional development. The programme spans Earth, planetary and space sciences, with opportunities for collaboration across disciplines. The organizer lists 29 September as the late-breaking abstract deadline; the standard abstract round has already closed. The official event site provides registration, travel and programme updates for the meeting at the Moscone Center.

The tenth national and first international Ocean Society of India conference brings ocean, atmospheric and Earth scientists together around research and applications. Topics span physical, chemical and biological oceanography, marine geology and geophysics, ocean–atmosphere interactions, engineering, marine microbiology, the blue economy, bioinformatics, satellite and in-situ observations, modeling, changing monsoons, polar regions and renewable energy. Plenary lectures, contributed research and early-career and interdisciplinary sessions connect scientific advances to societal needs.

EGU 2027 meets in Vienna and online, 4–9 April, covering Earth, planetary and space sciences. Abstract deadline: 12 January 2027. The European Geosciences Union hosts scientific sessions, short courses and geoscience panels at the Austria Center Vienna and online. Abstract submissions, support applications and author invitation-letter requests begin on 28 October 2026. Financial-support applications close on 1 December 2026 at 13:00 CET; abstracts close on 12 January 2027 at 13:00 CET. Reduced early registration ends on 8 March 2027. The session-proposal stage closed on 23 September 2026. The organizer also publishes separate townhall and splinter-meeting milestones.

The symposium investigates how exchanges between land ice and the atmosphere control glacier mass balance and sea-level contributions. Surface energy, albedo, firn hydrology, aquifers and impermeable ice layers are considered alongside atmospheric circulation and boundary-layer processes. Field observations, satellite measurements, numerical models and machine-learning emulators will be used to examine nonlinear feedbacks and improve projections of ice-sheet and glacier change. The International Glaciological Society convenes researchers studying both local surface processes and their representation in climate models.

The meeting treats subduction-zone hazards as connected components of the Earth system. Deformation, faulting, mineral reactions and fluid movement link trenches, volcanic arcs and the mantle, while earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis and eruptions can trigger one another. Researchers will integrate geology, geophysics, geochemistry and geodynamics across scales to understand cascading hazards, improve forecasting and relate deep processes to surface landscapes and climate-linked risks. Attendance applications are reviewed and capacity may fill before the application deadline.
