The 8th International Baltic Earth Winter School on “Earth System Science for the Baltic Sea Region” is co-organised by the Tallinn University of Technology and the University of Tartu under the umbrella of Baltic Earth (www.baltic.earth) and will take place from 23 – 27 March 2026 at the Park Inn by Radisson Central Tallinn, Estonia
The interdisciplinary school will provide a broad overview of ongoing research activities on the Earth system in the Baltic Sea region. One of the goals of the school is to provide an overview of the level of knowledge and to assist in future career choices.
The 8th Baltic Earth Winter School will cover the processes and variability from micro- to global scale and from short-term to climate timescale. All compartments of the Earth system, such as the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, land surface, and terrestrial and marine ecosystems, will be discussed. The holistic view of the Earth system will include the anthroposphere, considering human impacts on climate and environment.
The Winter School is open to PhD students and early career scientists (postdocs) in geosciences such as climate science, environment, physical geography, meteorology, physical, chemical and biological oceanography, hydrology, terrestrial and marine biogeochemistry, and associated fields.
Please send applications with a motivation letter to the following address: secretariat@baltic.earth.
The selection criterion follows the principle of “first come, first served”. PhD students will be given priority.
Deadline for registration: 15 January 2026
