CONCERTO at the EGU General Assembly 2025

From 27 April to 2 May 2025, the European Geosciences Union (EGU) held its General Assembly, the largest gathering of geoscientists in Europe. The conference brought together thousands of researchers from over 100 countries, both in Vienna and online, to discuss the latest advancements in Earth, planetary, and space sciences.

Within the diverse programme, the CONCERTO project was presented with a focus on land use/land cover (LU/LC) and leaf area index (LAI) reconstruction.

The presentation, titled “Reconstructing historical land use/land cover and LAI using multiple data streams and machine learning”, showcased ongoing work within the CONCERTO framework to improve retrospective environmental datasets through advanced data integration techniques. This reconstruction effort is essential for enhancing the realism and accuracy of Earth system models, particularly in understanding how ecosystems respond to climate change and anthropogenic pressures.

The abstract is publicly available on the EGU platform.

CONCERTO’s presence at EGU 2025 fostered valuable exchanges with the broader geoscientific community and raised visibility for the project’s mission to strengthen biodiversity and climate modelling through robust, data-driven methodologies.
