Call for Abstracts EGU26 - Session: GD9.4 Atlantic Ocean geodynamics and paleoceanography unravelled by Scientific Ocean Drilling Expeditions (Convener: Chiara Amadori; Co-conveners: Michelle Harris, Claudio Robustelli Test, Matthias Sinnesael, Emma Hanson)
The Atlantic Ocean is one of Earth's best natural laboratories and has been extensively explored by scientific ocean drilling. Studying the Atlantic archives has led to a wealth of knowledge, including the refinement of the theory of plate tectonics through an understanding of the opening of the mid-ocean ridge, the study of Oceanic Core Complex formation at slow-spreading ridges and the influence that the Mid-Atlantic Ridge has on the Iceland mantle plume. The Atlantic sedimentary record contains key information on the evolution of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and Northern and Southern Hemisphere glacial initiation and dynamics.
Combined recovery of magmatic and sedimentary sequences enables the study of the interaction of mantle dynamics and crustal accretion, hydrothermal exchanges between the cooling ocean crust and overlying water masses, ocean circulation patterns influenced by gateway changes connected to the Pacific, Southern, and Arctic Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea. Recent drilling efforts have also aimed to shed light on deep-biosphere ecosystems and their interaction with sedimentary and magmatic processes.
This session aims to bring together interdisciplinary studies and to foster discussions on recent advances from scientific ocean drilling expeditions throughout the Atlantic Ocean. We welcome experimental, theoretical, modelling, and observational studies using data (e.g., geophysical, geochemical, sedimentological, and paleontological) from recent and past International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) expeditions and their predecessors.
Call for Abstracts EGU26 - Session SSP4.4: "Macrofossil remains and geochemical proxies as high-resolution archives of past environmental change"
Dear colleagues,
we would like to remind you of the invitation to submit an abstract to session SSP4.4 at the EGU General Assembly, that will take place from 3 to 8 May 2026 (Vienna and online):
"Macrofossil remains and geochemical proxies as high-resolution archives of past environmental change"
Convener: Daniele Scarponi (University of Bologna); Co-conveners: Rafał Nawrot (University of Vienna), Niels de Winter (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), Gaia Crippa (University of Milan), Lukas Schweigl (University of Bologna)
In this session we welcome a broad range of contributions from researchers investigating changes in species and ecosystems in relation to climate variability and/or human impacts across both the deep time and the recent past, using skeletal remains. We encourage contributions that focus on biotic interactions, species and community dynamics, sclerochronology, isotope geochemistry, trait-based analyses, morphometric approaches, and ancient DNA/sedimentary DNA, in particular conservation-oriented case studies that combine data from modern biota and fossil remains. Paleoecological archives documenting histories of environmental disturbance and their ecological consequences, as well as paleobiogeographic reconstructions, exploring how species' spatial patterns have responded to past environmental change, are also welcomed. The aim is to examine long-term records, to gain insights into the potential consequences of present-day environmental stressors and climate change, to reconstruct past dynamics of species and ecosystem changes, and thus to obtain valuable insights that can help us sketch the near-future trajectories of contemporary ecosystems.
Please find further information in the attached flyer and at: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/session/56762
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 January 2026, 13:00 CET.
We are looking forward to receiving your contributions and to an enthusiastic participation in this session!

Active volcanoes at subaerial rifts display diverse eruptive behaviours over a broad temporal timeframe, ranging from sporadic low-intensity eruptions to paroxysmal events. This session explores what controls the eruption style and syn-eruptive dynamics, from magmatic storage to shallow conduit processes.
The physical characteristics of the eruptive products have been used to reconstruct shallow conduit processes, while chemistry and petrology represent powerful tools to investigate the influence of source dynamics on eruptive style. Despite overlapping research goals, these disciplines are rarely integrated.
In this session, we welcome contributions that explore eruptive dynamics within subaerial rift settings, spanning from individual eruptive events to long-term volcanic processes. We invite multidisciplinary studies that combine physical volcanology, geochemistry, or petrology tools to apply for this session. However, we also welcome any discipline relevant to the session's theme. We encourage contributions from ECRs and will provide a safe space for everyone to present their research on the session's theme.
