Researchers from the Soil Science, Theoretical Ecohydrology, and Isodrones (Environmental Geochemistry) research groups once again traveled to the EGU General Assembly 2026 in Vienna (May 4–8). The international conference of the European Geosciences Union is one of the most important meetings for researchers in the geosciences and environmental sciences.
With their posters and presentations, they contributed to sessions on “Measurement and Modeling of Soil Processes across Scales” (Jannis Bosse and Sascha Iden), “Forest Ecohydrology” (Ramona Riedel), and “General Ecohydrology” (Gregor Rickert, Mohammad Shokrollahi, Ilhan Özgen). The time at the conference was used extensively for scientific exchange, broadening perspectives beyond one’s own field, and reconnecting with old colleagues as well as meeting new ones.
