Upcoming events
where we plan to promote SoMMet and present our work
The 7th International COSMOS Workhop (COSMOS7) will be held on 24–26 September 2024 in Hillsborough, Northern Ireland. The workshop will bring together the experts and end-users of the COSMOS (COsmic-ray Soil Moisture Observing System) networks around the world, with the overall theme "From Research to Operations". The project SoMMet and the work that is carried out on soil moisture measurement harmonisation will be presented there.

The event Week of Environment (in German "Woche der Umwelt"), jointly organised by the Office of the Federal President of Germany Mr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier and the German Federal Environmental Foundation DBU ("Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt"), will be held on 4–5 June 2024 in Berlin, Germany. The project SoMMet will be presented there under the motto Cosmic support for terrestrial soil moisture measurements ("Kosmische Hilfe für irdische Bodenfeuchtemessungen"), and the CRNS methodology as well as point-scale soil moisture measurement will be demonstrated to broad public.
Further information:
The General Assembly 2024 of the EGU (European Geosciences Union) will take place on 14–19 April 2024 in Vienna, Austria. The SoMMet project will be presented there within the session HS6.1 Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture. Moreover, there will be a splinter meeting specifically dedicated to the topic of traceability of soil moisture measurements which is one of the main objectives of SoMMet. The splinter meeting is called: In situ soil moisture: What are the errors sources, and how can we derive a traceable uncertainty budget?
