Submission Deadline: 1 October 2025 This special issue of Soil invites papers that study soil dynamics using numerical and statistical models. The focus will be on the development of model-based representations, or digital twins, of soil systems to study soil processes, dynamics, and functions from the pore to the landscape scale
and from diurnal dynamics to millennial evolution. By bringing together modelers and models that work on different spatiotemporal scales, the issue aims at synergies between soil hydrology, soil physics, soil geography, and soil ecology to develop holistic models that consider soils and their functions as dynamic systems. This SI is an initiative of the International Soil Modeling Consortium (ISMC, https://soil-modeling.org/) and the 3-4D Soil models working group (https://dbges.de/en/commissions-and-working-groups/working-groups/wg-3-4d-soil-models), part of the German Soil Science Society. |

Earth". The event provides a forum to present and discuss the latest scientific findings and applications based on satellite data, and to review the contribution that data and technologies have made and could further make in addressing environmental and societal challenges. The symposium will showcase innovative products, services, missions and initiatives, with the overarching goal of demonstrating how science, society, policy-making, businesses and the economy can all
benefit from observations made from space. |

Dates: 14–16 July 2025 Location: Reading, UK The International Soil Modelling Consortium (ISMC) and GEWEX Water Initiative (SoilWat) bring together two research communities to improve the representation of soil and subsurface processes in weather and climate models. The subsurface modeling community, broadly represented by ISMC, and the climate modeling community, represented by GEWEX (e.g., via its Global Land Atmosphere Systems Study, or GLASS Panel), are
working together to identify the most pressing challenges related to this effort and ways forward. The ISMC–GEWEX SoilWat Meeting 2025 aims to assess achievements and identify research gaps since our last meeting. The main objective is to write a paper that will outline a roadmap, identifying the next frontiers and challenges in this field, and how collaboration can address these. This is especially important since significant developments have taken place within the climate
and soil modeling communities in recent years, in particular those relating to Machine Learning, Digital Twins, and high-resolution Earth System modeling. |

GLASS encourages and coordinates community-based activities in these areas, covering climate and weather timescales in both offline and coupled modeling environments, across the coupled water, energy and carbon
cycles. This year’s annual GLASS Panel Meeting, which is by invitation only, will take place after the ISMC–GEWEX SoilWat Meeting. The meeting will be limited to review progress of the GLASS working groups and projects and hear updates from non-GLASS projects with related research objectives. |
