We anticipate invited speakers from CREA (Italy) and the Federal Environment Agency (Austria).The program includes a combination of field trips to state-of-the-art monitoring infrastructure and simulations of climate change, a soil formation modeling workshop, and interactive lectures aimed at deepening understanding of the relationships between soils and global environmental changes.
