Processes in the hydrosphere vary greatly across spatial and temporal scales. Understanding, monitoring and modelling the diversity and similarity of these processes is still a significant ongoing challenge for research and water management, in Switzerland and globally. Thus, the session welcomes contributions dealing with hydrology and hydrogeology at all spatial and temporal scales, which can range from work at pore scale to catchment scale or global scale, and processes occurring at the scale of a few minutes, hours, or years. Contributions demonstrating interdisciplinary approaches, such as groundwater-surface water interactions, are encouraged.

The Hydrology and Hydrogeology session is expected to share its poster session with the Limnology/Oceanography session to foster an integrated perspective of the water resource.

The SSHL-SGHL offers two prizes (250 francs each) for posters presented at the SGM. Posters must be on display at the SGM poster session for evaluation by the jury.

Early Career researchers (PHD and Master students) can apply for the SSHL-SGHL Poster Award. Together with the decision on your abstract, the SSHL-SGHL will send you an application form by e-mail.

Deadline for the Award application: 11 November 2026
