The 1st International Symposium on Earth System Modeling (EarthSym) will serve as an international forum for discussion, collaboration, and exchange of ideas on the numerical representation of the Earth system and its interacting components. The event highlights the complex connections among the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, hydrosphere, and cryosphere, and how these interactions influence weather, climate, and environmental variability across spatial and temporal scales.

EarthSym brings together scientists, students, and professionals from a wide range of disciplines with the shared goal of improving the understanding of physical, chemical, and biological processes within the coupled Earth system. The symposium promotes collaboration between communities working in atmospheric sciences, oceanography, hydrology, and computational modeling, encouraging integration between observation, theory, and simulation. The program will include short courses, keynote presentations, panel discussions, oral and poster sessions, and dedicated spaces for networking, designed to stimulate dialogue and foster new research partnerships.

By gathering established experts and early-career researchers from around the world, EarthSym aims to become a regular international meeting point for the scientific community engaged in Earth system studies. The symposium will provide an environment for sharing research results, identifying emerging challenges, and strengthening global cooperation in numerical modeling and related fields. In a time of rapid climate change and growing environmental pressures, EarthSym seeks to advance scientific knowledge, enhance predictive modeling capabilities, and expand collaboration networks that support a better understanding of our planet’s interconnected systems. To promote inclusion, the event will also offer travel and registration support for graduate students and young scientists.
