This gives scientists a unique opportunity to learn how their research fits into soil health monitoring in the European Union and policymaking in general.

This year we have multiple scientific presentation formats and a presentation and discussion with policymakers from DG ENV of the European Commission on the Soil Monitoring Law and the role of science in policy implementation and monitoring.

With #EGU25 fast approaching in Vienna, we warmly invite attendees to join our session (SSS2.2)“Soil Erosion, Land Degradation and Conservation“, orals on Wednesday 30 April. Full session here: #Orals" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/…

We’re organizing the most extensive community-based global #soilerosion mapping initiative ever using Google Earth imagery (or similar). Want to be part of it? Join us by sending an email to borrellilab.rm3@gmail.com with your full name, affiliation, & country. Deadline: May 31
