M²ESH
M²ESH is an international platform created to connect soil erosion researchers and tackle pressing issues in erosion science. We organise a monthly online seminar freely accessible to anyone interested in soil erosion research. Seminars take place in a Zoom meeting with 30-45 min talks followed by 15-20 min discussion. Speakers are chosen by the M²ESH organisation team, but all researchers, independent of their academic degree and career stage, are welcome to request a talk or propose potential speakers.
Please subscribe to the email list below to receive the zoom link to the talks.

Upcoming seminars
Seminar dates are organised around European semesters, always on Thursdays at 15:00 Central European Time (CET). We define speakers approximately one semester in advance.
