See: https://www.cryosphere2022.is (https://www.cryosphere2022.is)\ nPlenary talks and sessions will focus on all components of Earth´s cryosph ere and ongoing changes in their extent and volume: Earth's snow cover, gla ciers and ice caps, the Greenland Ice Sheet, the Antarctic Ice Sheet, sea i ce cover, permafrost/frozen ground, lake and river ice. Sessions will also be held on climate variations, the cryosphere in high mountain areas, Earth systems modelling, new technologies, and adaptation and mitigation efforts with focus on communities affected by cryospheric change.

Plenar y talks and sessions will focus on all components of Earth´s cryosphere and ongoing changes in their extent and volume: Earth's snow cover, glaciers a nd ice caps, the Greenland Ice Sheet, the Antarctic Ice Sheet, sea ice cove r, permafrost/frozen ground, lake and river ice. Sessions will also be held on climate variations, the cryosphere in high mountain areas, Earth system s modelling, new technologies, and adaptation and mitigation efforts with f ocus on communities affected by cryospheric change. The symposium will allo w time for panel discussions on research gaps and future perspectives. Prog ress towards the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C as emphasised dur ing COP-26 in Glasgow will be highlighted.

In response to several inquiries, it has been decided to run parallel se ssions on specialized session topics, if a high number of abstracts is rece ived on particular topics.

The Internati onal Glaciological Society (IGS) will publish a thematic issue of Annal s of Glaciology, containing peer-reviewed papers presented at the conf erence. Chief editor: Prof. Regine Hock, University of Oslo and University of Alaska Fairbanks.

This symposium is co-sponsored by many universities, re search institutes and associations, including the International Glaciologic al Society (IGS), the World Meteorological Office (WMO), UNESCO and IASC.Cr yosphere 2020 postponed until 2022

As a result of global atmospheric warming, all components of Ea rth´s cryosphere are now changing at a dramatic pace. More than a quarter of the planet´s land surface receives snow precipitation each year and declining snow cover in many parts of the world is cau sing concern for the future of wintertime recreation activities. Water stor ed as snow and ice makes a critical contribution to the world’s available f reshwater supply and is essential to the sustenance of natural ecosystems, agriculture and human societies. Mass loss continues from glaciers and ice fields in all mountainous regions of the world and from Arctic and sub-Arctic ice caps. The two large ice sh eets in Greenland and Antarctica are major contributors to rising sea-level and are now beginning to show signs of irreversible mass loss. Th e areal extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice cover conti nues to decline and the resulting albedo changes are now believed to affect winter weather patterns in North America and Eurasia. Increasing attention is being given to hazards due to thinning of lake and river ice co ver and permafrost degradation, including slope f ailure, which calls for increased in situ monitoring and the devel opment of new remote sensing techniques.

This symposium will bring together scientists, stakeholders and policy mak ers for a discussion on the latest results from studies of the entire cryos phere, which plays an important role in the hydrological cycle and the Eart h System and is one of the most useful indicators of climate change. The sy mposium will allow ample time for panel discussions on scientific results, new technologies, research gaps and future perspectives in the light of the Paris Agreement, which calls for limiting global warming to 1.5–2°C.
