If you are based in the western hemisphere (North, Central, Latin America  US/Canada/Caribbean) you may wish to join us for the FREE hybrid AMERIGEO meeting!  All Earth Observation aspects will be shared in these special sessions over several days, including some applicable to water quality!  All are welcome.

AmeriGEO Week 2025 website (https://www.igac.gov.co/semana-amerigeo-2025) and registration link (https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/f863d3713be840599c2061fa59f6afc9) are now live.

Please note that AmeriGEO Week 2025 is hybrid (with English/Spanish simultaneous translation), no cost, and open to the global community.  The AmeriGEO leadership team will soon share the call for poster abstracts for the hybrid presentation session at the event.  We encourage all members (from students to seasoned researchers) to share their work through this hybrid poster session!

Upcoming meetings for AFRIGEO, EUROGEO and AOGEO are also scheduled for researchers who work on Earth Observation in other parts of the world.

The GEO AquaWatch Early Career Society has now opened the 2025-26 Water Talks Call for Early Career Speakers in Aquatic Remote Sensing!  This is the third year of the free and open call for speakers – and one the Early Career Society hopes will engage the biggest webinar audiences to date.  Detalles en español!

If you self-identify as early career and your work includes Aquatic Earth Observation, please apply!  New this year is that speakers may present in either Spanish or English.  The call will remain open through August 31, 2025 at 23:59 UTC.  You may submit your abstract here.

Call all in the coastal observing community!  We welcome you to attend the AGU 2025 meeting (December 15-19, 2025 in New Orleans, LA) and encourage you to submit an abstract by July 30th (23:59 EDT) to this CEOS COAST-VC and CoastPredict jointly sponsored session:  OS021 – Satellite and In Situ Observations in Support of the Prediction of Coastal Hazard Impacts for Enhancing the Resilience of Coastal Communities

Submit an Abstract to this Session HERE   

This session highlights the advancements in integrating satellite and in situ observations with coastal models to enhance community resilience to ocean hazards. Outcomes will focus on furthering Early Warning Systems for coastal hazards (eg., tsunamis, storm surges, marine heatwaves, biogeochemical hazards), AI/ML model training and climate downscaling validation/calibration. We invite contributions on relevant coastal models,
observations, data assimilation, applications, Digital Twins customized for driving forward science-based management practices and Nature Based Solutions. We also welcome trans-disciplinary contributions that showcase how science protects and strengthens coastal communities through combining environmental, socioeconomic, management and policy aspects of coastal resilience. Early Career Ocean Professionals and Global South researchers are encouraged to submit abstracts. The session is organized by the Program “CoastPredict: observing and predicting the Global Coastal Ocean” (affiliated with the Global Ocean Observing System), and the “Committee on Earth Observation Satellites Coastal Observations Applications Services and Tools Virtual Constellation (CEOS COAST-VC)”.

Primary Convener:  Vassiliki Kourafalou,  University of Miami

The University of Stirling invites applications for a highly motivated Earth observation scientist to join Scotland’s International Environment Centre and work as part of a team of scientists and technical specialists delivering world-leading research and innovation in the development and application of digital technologies for environmental management.

This successful applicant will initially work on two major projects. Firstly, an exciting new UKRI-BBSRC funded research project to develop a digital ‘System of Systems’ for sustainable aquaculture in the Mekong Delta led by the Institute of Aquaculture (IoA) at the University of Stirling. This interdisciplinary project builds jointly on the world leading research located at the National Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Hub (NATIH-IoA) and the Forth-ERA Digital Observatory within Scotland’s International Environment Centre. Secondly, a project under the umbrella of Forth-ERA to advance the use of satellite data for monitoring inland and coastal water quality across Scotland. We anticipate that the successful candidate will spend around one third of their time on the Forth-ERA project.

We are looking for an outstanding candidate with expertise in the processing, analysis and application of satellite data in environmental monitoring and management. Experience in the use of satellite data for water quality applications would be particularly beneficial, although not essential. In addition, experience in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, sensor networks and/or data visualisation would also be highly advantageous.
