ABOUT RISE-SWC Conference As global climate change continues to intensify, soil and water resources are facing unprecedented challenges. The frequent occurrence of extreme weather events due to climate change, such as heavy rainfall, droughts and floods, crop growth cycles and yields are affected, challenging agricultural production, water availability is threatened and water scarcity is a […]
Part III of the EUSO Stakeholders Forum 2025 will take place on 9 October 2025 at Villa Europa in Rome (hybrid form). Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on Mediterranean soils. The forum will bring together recent research on degradational processes and innovative solutions in the Mediterranean area, focussing on sustainability, resilience, and adapting […]
Healthy soils are essential for achieving climate neutrality, halting the loss of biodiversity and providing healthy food. However, more than 60% of the EU’s soils are subject to one or more soil degradation processes. The recently updated Soil Degradation Dashboard, developed by the EU Soil Observatory (EUSO), shows the location and estimates the extent of soil degradation processes […]
The second Café Talk organized by the MONALISA Knowledge Community will take place on October 30th. This event will address issues related to the use of technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, machine learning, and remote sensing data, to combat land degradation and desertification, to foster discussion on development prospects. Research by participants in the MONALISA Call for Young Researchers […]
