Invitation - LE STUDIUM Conference 6 & 7 October 2026

[Michael Nones]

I would like to invite you to attend the LE STUDIUM Conference entitled "Monitoring freshwater systems: from Earth Observation to field measurements", which will be held in Tours (France) on October 6 and 7, 2026.

This conference will focus on recent advances in EO and field measurements of river systems. It will provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art, address current scientific challenges and obstacles, and outline future developments related to the use of remote sensing data and its validation on the ground in river science.

The planned sessions will cover

• integration of EO with in-situ measurement systems
• definition of new monitoring services
• use of innovative sensors and EO data
• impact of EO advancements on environmental policies and management

The opportunity to demonstrate how EO plays a role in a wide range of topics will foster discussions among experts from different disciplines, thereby promoting collaborations to solve problems that require a trans- and interdisciplinary approach.

During the congress, we will bring together researchers and water managers from around the world, uniting leading teams working on EO technology and field measurements in fluvial systems, encompassing a broad range of research fields, from geophysics and geography to water resources management and land planning.

Abstracts could be submitted by June 29, and more details are here.

Best regards,

Michael

Dear colleagues,

We are organizing a session at the AGU 2026 Fall Meeting in San Francisco, together with Rafael J. P. Schmitt and Elizabeth Webb, Ph.D., on:

Tracking Geomorphic Change and Human Impacts in Freshwater Systems through Remote Sensing, Data Fusion, and AI.

We welcome contributions that use remote sensing, Earth observation, AI, data fusion, field observations, and modelling to investigate freshwater systems across scales. We are particularly interested in studies addressing geomorphic change and human impacts, including river regulation, glacier melt, permafrost thaw, mining, wetlands, and uncertainty assessment.

If your research fits these topics, we would be delighted to receive your abstract!

We are glad to let you know we have two distinguished invited talks: 

• James Brasington , Full Professor, Director of the Water Ways Centre, University of Canterbury, NZ, will present his research on “Reading the aftermath: fusing observations and models to reconstruct sediment cascades after the cyclone Gabrielle’

• Anya Leenman, Assistant Professor, University of Sherbrooke , Canada, will present her research on “Fusing hydrological records and the satellite archive to explore river morphodynamics" 

Submission Deadline: Wednesday, August 5, 2026
