Past Events

The GEWEX Global Land-Atmosphere System Studies Panel (GLASS) held its first Pan-GLASS Conference “Back to the Drawing Board: From Fundamentals to Improved Models of the Coupled Land-Atmosphere System” (Pan-GLASS 2026). This conference was organized and performed by the Institute of Physics and Meteorology of the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany, and the GLASS Panel with support of the International GEWEX Project Office and took place in Stuttgart from 06-09 July 2026. The conference brought together experts on earth system and weather research, soil and vegetation processes, surface fluxes, planetary boundary layer transport processes, clouds and precipitation, and machine learning. At the conference, observationalists, theoreticians, and modelers joined to discuss the key issues of land-atmosphere science.

iLEAPS was delighted to partner with SOLAS in supporting the 2026 SOLAS Summer School.
The Summer School welcomed an international cohort of around 60 early-career researchers. It was primarily designed for PhD students and early-stage postdoctoral researchers but was also open to applicants pursuing alternative career paths. Participants came from across the full spectrum of SOLAS science — from fundamental ocean–atmosphere interactions to applied, solution-oriented research addressing pressing societal challenges.

iLEAPS hosted its second Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) meeting of 2025 in a hybrid format, in conjunction with the ACAM Training School and Workshop, in Bali on 9–10 June.  Representatives from IGAC, FE Taipei, SOLAS, Water Future, Singapore University, and iCACGP representatives joined us online and discussed future collaboration ideas.
