ICOS Science Conference, organised every second year by the ICOS community, is a global event open to scientists and other experts working in greenhouse gases and biogeochemical cycles. ICOS Science Conference 2026 will be organised on 15-17 September 2026 in Lund, Sweden and online. The themes reflect ICOS’s three domains – Atmosphere, Ecosystem and Ocean – and incorporate broader themes such as climate services, science communication and cooperation between Research Infrastructures.
The abstract submission deadline is 6th March 2026, 15:00 CET. More here

We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2nd International AnaEE Science Conference (ANAEESC26), the flagship biennial event of AnaEE-ERIC (Analysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems), Europe’s largest network for experimental ecology and climate change research. Taking place September 29 – October 1, 2026, at the Palais de l’Europe in Menton, France, this essential gathering brings together leading researchers and policymakers to address critical challenges facing global ecosystems through seven scientific sessions, featuring distinguished keynote speakers including Prof. Marie-Hélène Jeuffroy – INRAE, Prof. Bart Muys – KU Leuven and Dr. Nathalie Hilmi – The Scientific Centre of Monaco.
We strongly encourage you to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations. Early career researchers can compete for our inaugural Environmental Rising Star Award, which includes up to €2000 for a research visit to an AnaEE facility abroad. The conference also features workshops on Open Science practices, policy dialogues, and valuable networking opportunities. Visit anaee.eu to register and submit your abstract.

More Czech researchers have joined an international team proposing a novel approach to climate mitigation: harvesting parts of northern forests and transporting the wood via rivers to the Arctic Ocean, where it could lock carbon away for thousands of years. The plan aims to remove roughly one gigaton of carbon dioxide annually, equivalent to about a tenth of global yearly emissions.
The approach could supplement existing efforts to reduce fossil fuel emissions by providing an alternative carbon removal method. By using a process that already occurs naturally—fallen trees drifting into oceans—scientists hope to expand carbon storage without creating entirely artificial infrastructure.
The researchers focus on coniferous forests in Siberia and North America, including the Ob, Yenisei, Lena, Yukon, and Mackenzie river basins. These forests collectively store an estimated 100 gigatons of carbon. Harvesting just 1 percent of this area, around 180,000 square kilometers, and channeling the wood to the Arctic could capture one gigaton of carbon dioxide per year.
