The EGU General Assembly 2026 brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.

Deadline for abstract submission is 15 January 2026, 13:00 CET.

GEOTRACES relevant session:

Chemical Processes in Coastal Oceans: Natural and Anthropogenic impacts on the biogeochemical processes

Convener: Aridane González González
Co-conveners: David González-Santana, Melchor Gonzalez-Davila, J. Magdalena Santana-Casiano

Coastal oceans are dynamic interfaces between land and sea, playing a critical role in global biogeochemical cycles with a high impact on socio-economic activities and social developments. The dynamic and physical processes as well as the human activities that take place in coastal areas make them natural laboratories to improve our knowledge about several biogeochemical interactions. In addition, these regions are affected by both natural and anthropogenic factors such as coastal acidification, organic matter, nutrients, and pollution, among others. All these factors have impacts on the natural cycles and the magnitude of these impacts should be studied and understood in order to propose solutions to the decision makers that could help to know, understand, take decisions, and protect or regulate the coastal environments.

This session aims to bring together researchers from diverse fields to discuss the latest findings on the biogeochemical processes occurring in coastal oceans, improve our knowledge, identify impacts, and propose solutions in terms of coastal management and blue economy. We welcome research studies that focus on both natural and anthropogenic processes that are affecting the biogeochemical cycles in coastal waters, trace metal chemistry, CO₂ system, ocean acidification, ocean alkalinization, nutrient cycle, organic matter, CO₂ sequestration, blue carbon, etc.
