The online videos will be uploaded and available a week before the virtual meeting. Check back for more details. Here is a tentative list of topics and presenters: \n\nSpatiotemporal Analyses of Water Quality in River Basins Using Generalized Additive Models (GAM) – Diego Guimarães Florencio Pujoni\, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais\nIn this workshop\, participants will learn how GAMs can be used to capture complex\, nonlinear relationships in environmental data. We will discuss how spatiotemporal series can be decomposed into spatial and temporal components at multiple scales\, and how variation partitioning can be applied to quantify the relative contributions of these components. As a case study\, the workshop will focus on the Doce and Paraopeba rivers\, both impacted by mine tailings from dam failures. Topics will include model specification\, smoothing techniques\, distributional assumptions\, and diagnostic tools\, emphasizing how GAMs provide a flexible framework for environmental monitoring and hypothesis testing. Hands-on applications in R will demonstrate how these models can be used to extract long-term trends\, seasonality\, and spatial patterns in water quality variables.\nCarbon Footprint of Tropical Reservoirs and climate change – Nathan Barros\, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora\nIn this workshop\, we will explore how tropical reservoirs interact with environmental and climatic changes. We will review recent scientific advances in understanding these systems\, including the concept of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and the processes that remain overlooked in the context of emissions from tropical reservoirs. The workshop will emphasize the pathways of greenhouse gas emissions from reservoirs and compare them with those observed in natural lakes. In addition\, we will discuss the carbon footprint of tropical reservoirs and its broader implications for climate change. Finally\, we will outline future research directions and management guidelines to mitigate emissions and enhance sustainability.\nSmart Enough? Academia and the Imposter Phenomena – Harriet Wilson\, University of Stirling\nDo you feel like a fraud\, even while pursuing the research path you’ve worked so hard to reach? Does it feel awkward when people assume you must be “smart” just because you’re doing a PhD or describe you as an ‘expert’ in your topic? What is imposter syndrome—or is it even a syndrome at all? Should I ditch it\, outsmart it\, love it\, or embrace it? Surprise\, surprise: I don’t promise any answers. But in this session I’ll attempt to unpack this buzzword topic\, distilling what I’ve learnt from a frankly ridiculous number of self-help books\, to figure out what imposter “syndrome” really is\, why so many academics are struggling with it\, and what\, if anything\, we can do about it.\n\nThere is no fee for the workshops\, but those interested in participating should complete a meeting registration form. A workshop Q&A session is tentatively scheduled during the virtual meeting live sessions. If you have any questions about the workshop\, please contact the GSA. \nRegional Gatherings\n \nThe following Regional Gatherings will be held during the week: \n\nRegional meeting for Europe\, 29 October 2025\, 17:00-18:00 UTC\nRegional meeting for South and Central America\, 29 October 2025\, 18:00-19:00 UTC\nRegional meeting for North America\, 29 October 2025\, 19:00-20:00 UTC\nRegional meeting for Asia and Oceania\, 30 October 2025\, 08:00-09:00 UTC\nRegional meeting for Africa\, 30 October 2025\, 09:00-10:00 UTC\n\nRegion Gatherings are free but require registration. For more information\, contact Ali Ger or Rafa Marce. \nNetwork Partnership Program\nThe Committee on inClusive Collaboration (CCC) has revamped the Network Partnership Program (NPP) for virtual meetings. If you are New-to-GLEON and would like to have a mentor during the meeting or are an experienced GLEON member willing to help welcome a newcomer\, you can sign up during meeting registration. \nPurpose\nThe purpose of the Network Partnership (NPP) is to help New-to-GLEON participants engage in effective\, friendly networking and integration into the community of people and collaboration. \nNPP Roles\n\nNew-to-GLEON Partner (NP): If you are new to GLEON (first or second meeting)\, you have the option to choose to sign up as a NP;\nGLEON Partner (GP): If this is your 3rd time or more attending a GLEON All Hands’ Meeting. You can be a faculty member\, scientist\, technician or student that has been to more than two GLEON events and are willing to participate in NPP in a mentoring role.\n\nSuggested Activities and Expectations of Both Roles\nThe exact terms of the networking partnership will vary depending on the particular needs of your partner. Here are a few suggestions that NPP partners from the past GLEON meetings have honored and worked well: \n\nThe GLEON Partner (GP) is expected to be friendly and supportive\, to make frequent contact with the New-to-GLEON Partner (NP)\, introduce him/her to other GLEONites\, help identify similar or complementary research interests among GLEON meeting attendees and general membership.\nThe GP should reach out via email in advance of the meeting and visit the NP’s poster during the Poster Session and helps facilitate interactions with the audience\, if need be.\nNP and GP share at least one break together during the meeting.\n\n\n\n\nPosters and Abstracts\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster Session\nBook of Abstracts and Poster Session List\nThe Book of Abstracts includes information about poster locations in the GatherTown meeting space. A list of poster presentation locations is also available.
