Chapman Meetings
Chapman conferences convene globally, depending on where the science leads. These small, topical meetings are designed for in-depth exploration of specialized subjects. Conveners are responsible for scientific planning and programming. AGU team members offer logistics support and organizational expertise.

15 - 19 September 2025 | Boulder, CO, USA
This Chapman Conference focuses on the longstanding questions surrounding the lack of closure of the surface energy budget that has plagued the eddy-covariance (EC) community for decades. There is an urgent need to bring together the community to address the causes of non-closure, potential corrections, and broader implications for subsequent analyses such as the calibration and validation of water, energy, and carbon balance models.

The purpose of this Chapman was to bring together scientists to discuss, develop, and test conceptual models of distributed volcanism. Focus by the scientific community is especially important now because of continuing growth of cities, communities, and critical infrastructure within sparsely monitored volcanic fields.
