Program

The BIOGEOMON Conference, with its inclusive approach to the biogeochemistry of terrestrial and aquatic environments, has been held every 2nd or 3rd year since 1987. Here you can find an overview of the twenty interdisciplinary sessions, the planary speakers, and a timeline.

BIOGEOMON 2026 brings together leading researchers from across the globe to explore the biogeochemical processes that underpin ecosystem function and resilience in a changing world. This year’s sessions span a wide array of themes—from critical zone science and aquatic-terrestrial linkages to climate extremes, land-use change, and ecosystem restoration. Each session is led by invited experts who will share the latest insights and foster discussion across disciplinary boundaries.
