Call for Abstracts on Land Use: European Geosciences Union General Assembly meeting
The 2025 European Geosciences Union General Assembly (EGU25) will be in Vienna, Austria and online from 27 April to 2 May 2025. This session welcomes all contributions aimed at furthering understanding of Land use, land management, and land cover change (LULCC) in the Earth system, including those addressing LULCC effects on carbon, climate, hydrology, and/or biodiversity, and aims to present studies that can inform adoption of appropriate land-based strategies for climate mitigation, adaptation, and ecosystem restoration. Deadline: 15 Januar 2015.
Human activities on land (LULCC) shape climate by altering land-atmosphere fluxes of carbon, water, energy, and momentum. An increasing focus on land-based climate mitigation and adaptation strategies to meet more stringent targets has expanded the range of land management practices considered specifically for their potential to alter terrestrial carbon cycling or mediate favorable environmental conditions. This focus has also called attention to potential tradeoffs between climate-centric aspects of LULCC and its influences on biodiversity, hydrology and other environmental factors. Advancements in modeling and measurement techniques are opening new possibilities to better describe LULCC and its effects on the Earth system at multiple temporal and spatial scales.
The abstract submission deadline is 15 Jan. 2025, 13:00 CET. Please visit the session webpage to submit an abstract
