Call for abstracts: Galileo Conference "Fibre Optic Sensing in Geosciences”

[Veronica Rodriguez Tribaldos]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the EGU Galileo Conference "Fibre Optic Sensing in Geosciences” that will be held in Aussois (France) from 31 August to 4 September 2026.

The "Fibre Optic Sensing in Geosciences" Galileo Conference aims to bring together all communities developing and benefiting from fibre optic sensing technologies in the field of geosciences. The event will showcase the latest progress and advances in technological development. It will also highlight state-of-the-art processing and analysis approaches, as well as the latest initiatives and strategies for data sharing, open-source software, and collaboration platforms. All of this is to improve our understanding of the Earth system and highlight how these novel sensing technologies can have a real impact in enhancing the safety and resilience of our modern societies.

The conference will include master classes and 5 scientific sessions:

- Fiber optic sensing: New developments and instrumentation

- Toward real-time monitoring

- New frontiers using fibre sensing: from laboratories to space

- Sensing natural environments

- Urban society with fibre sensing


We invite you to submit your abstract before April 20th, 2026 to https://www.egu-galileo.eu/gc14-fibreoptic/home.html

Looking forward to seeing you in Aussois!

On behalf of the Organizing Committee
