  • American Geophysical Union - AGU is dedicated to the furtherance of the Earth and space sciences, and to communicating our science’s ability to benefit humanity. We achieve these goals through publishing scientific journals and other technical publications, sponsoring scientific meetings, supporting education and outreach programs designed to increase public understanding of and support for our science, and a variety of other activities.
  • European Geosciences Union - EGU, the European Geosciences Union, is Europe’s premier geosciences union, dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the Earth, planetary, and space sciences for the benefit of humanity, worldwide. It was established in September 2002 as a merger of the European Geophysical Society (EGS) and the European Union of Geosciences (EUG), and has headquarters in Munich, Germany. It is a non-profit international union of scientists with over 12,500 members from all over the world. Membership is open to individuals who are professionally engaged in or associated with geosciences and planetary and space sciences and related studies, including students and retired seniors. The EGU has a current portfolio of 17 diverse scientific journals, which use an innovative open access format, and organises a number of topical meetings, and education and outreach activities. Its annual General Assembly is the largest and most prominent European geosciences event, attracting over 11,000 scientists from all over the world. The meeting’s sessions cover a wide range of topics, including volcanology, planetary exploration, the Earth’s internal structure and atmosphere, climate, as well as energy and resources.
  • Soil Science Society of America - The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) is a progressive international scientific society that fosters the transfer of knowledge and practices to sustain global soils. Based in Madison, WI, and founded in 1936, SSSA is the professional home for 6,000+ members and 1,000+ certified professionals dedicated to advancing the field of soil science. The Society provides information about soils in relation to crop production, environmental quality, ecosystem sustainability, bioremediation, waste management, recycling, and wise land use.
  • U.S. Geological Survey - We provide science about the natural hazards that threaten lives and livelihoods; the water, energy, minerals, and other natural resources we rely on; the health of our ecosystems and environment; and the impacts of climate and land-use change. Our scientists develop new methods and tools to supply timely, relevant, and useful information about the Earth and its processes.
  • International Union of Soil Sciences - The International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) is the global union of soil scientists. The objectives of the IUSS are to promote all branches of soil science, and to support all soil scientists across the world in the pursuit of their activities. This website provides information for IUSS members and those interested in soil science.
  • International Soil Modeling Consortium - The International Soil Modeling Consortium aims to integrate and advance soil systems modeling, data gathering, and observational capabilities, through: bringing together leading experts in modelling soil processes within all major soil disciplines; addressing major scientific gaps in describing key processes and their long term impacts with respect to the different functions and ecosystem services provided by soil; promoting integration of soil modelling expertise in neighboring disciplines (climate, land surface, eco, hydro, and other models); performing soil model intercomparison studies at local to global scales; consolidating soil and other data platforms for modeling purposes; integrating societal and environmental considerations into soil and ecosystem functioning.
  • Czech Society of Soil Science - The objectives of the activity of CSSS are: to take care of the development of soil sciences and their relations to other scientific disciplines; to support practical exploitation of soil science in agriculture, forestry, engineering, landscape planning and environmental protection; to contribute to objective processing of soil information for important decisions of respective officials and institutions in the field of soil evaluation and management, soil exploitation and EIA; to inform public on the quality of soils, their importance as a natural soil resource and their functions in landscape, in the environment and for global ecosystem; to contribute to specific education in soil science and its applications on respective universities.
