Oceanography 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 annual meeting brings together research on weather, climate, hydrology, oceans and related environmental systems. Its conferences and symposia cover atmospheric chemistry, climate variability, observing systems, satellite measurements, modelling and communication of scientific information. The 2027 theme emphasizes education and the use of Earth-system knowledge by people and communities. Scientific sessions, professional exchanges and short courses are offered alongside in-person and online participation.

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.

The society’s 33rd conference presents research on weather, oceans and climate, from fundamental processes to applications in forecasting, infrastructure, agriculture, health and ecosystems. Sessions cover extreme and compound events, hydroclimate, polar systems, ocean and coastal processes, atmospheric composition, climate variability, high-resolution modelling and machine learning. A second stream examines warning services, adaptation, Indigenous knowledge, education and the use of science in industry and policy. Workshops take place on 8 February, followed by conference proceedings on 9–12 February. Abstract submissions closed on 6 September 2026. Presenters must register by 1 December, which is also the end of the early-bird discount.

The Aquatic Sciences Meeting connects freshwater and ocean researchers around the theme Waterscapes Under Pressure: Drivers and Opportunities. The meeting runs 28 February–5 March 2027 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The abstract deadline has been extended to 21 September 2026; early registration ends 1 December 2026.

The meeting examines disputed and unresolved questions about rapidly changing Arctic and Southern oceans. It brings circulation, ecology and biogeochemistry together to consider sea-ice loss, freshwater inputs, deep-water formation, primary production and climate-active aerosols. Sessions emphasize why these processes remain difficult to measure and explain, including feedbacks on planetary reflectivity and atmospheric composition. Comparisons with ancient ice-covered oceans and oceans on other worlds broaden the discussion. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.

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 meeting connects ocean observations and research with policy and practical action for a resilient Western Pacific. Scientific sessions address marine ecosystems, climate and human pressures, while UN Ocean Decade activities connect current projects and incubate new collaborations. The conference brings together researchers, government agencies and other ocean stakeholders to present new knowledge and technologies, assess regional progress and develop science-based responses to sustainability challenges. Abstracts for 34 scientific sessions close on 15 November 2026.

The conference organizes ocean chemistry around inventories, exchange rates and reaction mechanisms. It considers carbon, nutrients, trace elements and organic compounds in seawater, sediments and coastal margins, connecting molecular processes with basin-scale transport. Researchers will discuss autonomous measurements, isotope and molecular methods, long observational records, and the challenges that ocean change and proposed interventions pose for assumptions of steady state. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.
