Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the June newsletter of the EGU Hydrological Sciences Division! This month, we look back on a successful EGU General Assembly 2026 and celebrate the achievements of our hydrological community. We share different opportunities to stay engaged throughout the year, including EGU funding opportunities and upcoming conferences and meetings. Finally, we highlight new blog posts from the HS Division and GeoLog.

Have an excellent June.

Highlights and Upcoming Deadlines

EGU General Assembly 2026 brought together thousands of geoscientists in Vienna, the Hydrological Sciences Division hosting 120 sessions and nearly 3,000 abstracts.

Read the highlights and save the date for EGU27: 4–9 April 2027.

The EGU community remains active long after the General Assembly. Explore funding opportunities, workshops, webinars, grants, science-policy initiatives, and career development activities available throughout the summer. Several application deadlines fall in June; check them here.

The AGU Annual Meeting will take place in San Francisco, USA, from 7–11 December 2026. Session planning is underway, and abstract submissions close on 5 August. Whether proposing sessions or preparing abstracts, now is the time to start planning your participation.

Join the IAHS conference “Hydrology for All – Co-Creating Equitable Water Solutions” in Morocco, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to address water challenges through inclusive and collaborative approaches.

EGU is inviting proposals to develop online career development workshops for Early Career Scientists. The initiative aims to support professional growth through training tailored to the needs of early-career researchers. Interested applicants are encouraged to submit innovative workshop ideas and contribute to strengthening the ECS community. Deadline: Monday 22 June 2026.

The EGU Science Journalism Fellowship offers up to €5,000 to support journalistic coverage of Earth, planetary, and space science research. Journalists are invited to submit proposals for original reporting projects with European relevance.

Applications close on 17 June 2026

News from the HS Division 

In the latest HydroTalks episode, Prof. Laura Richards and Ajmal Roshan discuss groundwater quality challenges, arsenic contamination, and the role of citizen science in improving water monitoring. The conversation highlights how community engagement can contribute to addressing critical groundwater issues worldwide.

How can the scientific community ensure that knowledge remains accessible to all? This thought-provoking blog post reflects on open-access publishing, equity in knowledge sharing, and the collective responsibility of researchers to make scientific discoveries freely available to society.

Hydrology is both a scientific discipline and a source of artistic inspiration. This blog explores the connections between science, creativity, and our relationship with water, offering a reflective perspective on how hydrologists observe, understand, and communicate the dynamics of flowing waters.

From GeoLog

Help recognise outstanding contributions to science journalism by nominating candidates for the 2027 EGU Angela Croome Award. The award celebrates excellence in communicating geoscience to wider audiences and highlights the importance of high-quality science reporting.

In this personal reflection, an early-career scientist shares their first EGU experience and discusses the importance of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) within the geosciences. The article highlights how inclusive scientific communities foster belonging, collaboration, and innovation.
