M?ESH
M?ESH 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 M?ESH organisation team, but all researchers, independent of their academic degree and career stage, are welcome to request a talk or propose potential speakers.

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.
