Dear colleagues,
Apologies for any cross-posting. This is a friendly reminder for those planning to attend the CMWR 2026 conference in Bologna, Italy.
The abstract submission deadline has been extended to March 23.
The conference will take place from June 28 to July 2, 2026, and we encourage you to consider submitting your work to Session 5: Advances in remote-sensing tools and data-driven methods for understanding hydrological processes.
-- Original announcement --
We are pleased to announce Session 5 at CMWR 2026, to be held in Bologna, Italy, June 28–July 2, 2026.
Remote sensing and data-driven approaches are revolutionizing hydrology. From soil moisture and snow dynamics to surface and groundwater interactions, new observational capabilities and computational methods are opening unprecedented opportunities to study the terrestrial water cycle across scales.
Session 5 brings together cutting-edge research leveraging multi-sensor remote-sensing data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data assimilation to improve the monitoring, quantification, and understanding of hydrological states and fluxes. Emphasis is placed on multi-scale, multi-variable, and integrated approaches that enable data-driven discovery, enhance process understanding, and reduce uncertainty in hydrological estimates.
We invite contributions addressing, but not limited to:
• Integration of multi-source and multi-sensor remote-sensing datasets
• Machine learning and AI for hydrological process understanding
• Data assimilation frameworks for water and energy fluxes
• Observations and modeling of soil moisture, snow, surface water, and groundwater
• Uncertainty quantification and reduction in remote-sensing–based hydrology
• Data-driven insights into complex hydrological processes across scales
This session aims to foster cross-disciplinary exchange between hydrologists, remote-sensing scientists, and data scientists working at the forefront of hydrological research.
Session organizers:
Manuela Girotto – UC Berkeley
Ben Livneh – CU Boulder
Christian Massari – CNR
