DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce Neutrino Geoscience 2026\, to be he
 ld in Zhuhai\, Guangdong\, China\, from 16 to 19 November 2026. The worksh
 op is jointly hosted by the Institute of High Energy Physics\, China Unive
 rsity of Geosciences (Beijing)\, North China Electric Power University\, a
 nd Sun Yat-sen University.Neutrino geoscience brings together particle phy
 sicists\, geophysicists\, geochemists and other Earth scientists to invest
 igate the composition\, structure\, heat budget and evolution of our plane
 t. Geoneutrinos from the radioactive decay chains of uranium and thorium p
 rovide a direct probe of heat-producing elements in otherwise inaccessible
  regions of the Earth\, while potassium remains an important target for fu
 ture detection methods. These measurements help constrain the radiogenic c
 ontribution to terrestrial heat flow and the composition of the crust and 
 mantle.The workshop continues the international Neutrino Geoscience series
 \, including the 2019 meeting in Prague and the 2025 meeting in Kingston\,
  together with recent meetings on multi-messenger tomography of the Earth.
  The field now combines geoneutrino observations with seismology\, geochem
 istry\, gravity-field measurements\, geodesy\, geothermics\, mineral physi
 cs and geodynamical modelling.The 2026 meeting comes at an important stage
  for the field. KamLAND and Borexino established geoneutrino detection\, S
 NO+ extended measurements to a new continental setting\, and JUNO presente
 d its first preliminary geoneutrino result at Neutrino 2026 at the Univers
 ity of California\, Irvine. Together\, these complementary experiments are
  enabling increasingly precise and geographically diverse studies of the E
 arth's interior.The scientific programme will cover current and future geo
 neutrino measurements\; detector-site geological modelling\; crustal\, lit
 hospheric and mantle contributions\; the terrestrial heat budget\; uranium
 \, thorium and potassium abundances\; nuclear and particle-physics inputs\
 ; reactor-antineutrino backgrounds\; directional and ocean-bottom detectio
 n\; neutrino-oscillation tomography\; and joint interpretation of neutrino
 \, seismic\, geothermal\, geochemical and geodynamical information. Invite
 d and contributed talks\, posters and focused discussions will emphasize c
 ommunication across disciplines and priorities for future measurements\, m
 odels and collaborations.A Fall School on neutrino geoscience will also be
  held in Zhuhai from 11 to 14 November 2026\, immediately before the works
 hop\, to support students and early-career researchers entering this inter
 disciplinary field.\, see the indico page at https://indico.ihep.ac.cn/ev
