Distributed sensing technologies are transforming Earth and space science by enabling high-resolution, real-time monitoring across scales and domains. However, keeping pace with the rapidly evolving landscape of sensing tools remains a challenge—especially for students and early-career researchers. This session invites AGU members to lead domain- or instrumentation-themed discussions on distributed sensing, such as its applications in hydrology, seismology, atmospheric science, or the use of tools like wireless sensor networks, fiber-optic sensing, or mobile sensing platforms, etc. Presenters will share research experiences, technical insights, and practical lessons to foster cross-disciplinary learning. In collaboration with the AGU Distributed Sensing Technical Committee, interested presenters may co-design a themed, guided tour of the AGU Exhibit Hall to explore relevant technologies in context. This session aims to foster community knowledge exchange and support a broader understanding of current capabilities, challenges, and emerging directions in distributed sensing across the Earth and space sciences.
