Open Science and the democratization of computing are transforming how we study the Earth. By enabling access to diverse, quality-controlled datasets, Research Infrastructures (RIs) empower scientists to connect data from different disciplines and apply innovative approaches, including AI and machine learning, to gain new insights into complex geoscientific and societal challenges.
The EGU 2026 session “Inter- and Transdisciplinary Studies of the Geosphere: Experiences, Challenges and New Perspectives Worldwide” is co-organized by EPOS (European Plate Observing System), AuScope (Australia), EarthScope (United States), and Earth Sciences NZ (New Zealand). Together, these global research infrastructures aim to foster collaboration across disciplines by showcasing real-world examples of integrated research, methodological innovations, and user experiences from around the world.
The session particularly encourages contributions from Early Career Scientists, as well as researchers exploring the frontiers of interdisciplinary and data-driven science.
We invite abstracts that:
Combine data, methods, or models from multiple scientific domains;
Apply AI/ML or other computational approaches to enhance geoscientific discovery;
Explore FAIR data principles, interoperability, and open science practices;
Share challenges and solutions in conducting interdisciplinary research.
Join us in advancing open, integrated science and contributing to a global effort to better understand the Earth through collaboration, innovation, and shared data.
