SUMMARY:International Symposium on Ice, Snow and Water in a Warming World
LOCATION:Reykjavik\, Iceland
DESCRIPTION:The symposium: Cryosphere 2022: Ice, Snow and Water in a Warming World will
  be held in the Harpa Conference Centre, Reykjavík, Iceland, on August 21-2
 6 2022. See: https://www.cryosphere2022.is\nPlenary 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 and ice caps, the Greenlan
 d Ice Sheet, the Antarctic Ice Sheet, sea ice cover, permafrost/frozen grou
 nd, lake and river ice. Sessions will also be held on climate variations, t
 he cryosphere in high mountain areas, Earth systems modelling, new technolo
 gies, and adaptation and mitigation efforts with focus on communities affec
 ted by cryospheric change. The symposium will allow time for panel discussi
 ons on research gaps and future perspectives. Progress towards the goal of 
 limiting global warming to 1.5°C as emphasised during COP-26 in Glasgow wil
 l be highlighted.\nIn response to several inquiries, it has been decided to
  run parallel sessions on specialized session topics, if a high number of a
 bstracts is received on particular topics.\nThe International Glaciological
  Society (IGS) will publish a thematic issue of Annals of Glaciology, conta
 ining peer-reviewed papers presented at the conference. Chief editor: Prof.
  Regine Hock, University of Oslo and University of Alaska Fairbanks.\nThis 
 symposium is co-sponsored by many universities, research institutes and ass
 ociations, including the International Glaciological Society (IGS), the Wor
 ld Meteorological Office (WMO), UNESCO and IASC.Cryosphere 2020 postponed u
 ntil 2022\nAs a result of global atmospheric warming, all components of Ear
 th´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 declin
 ing snow cover in many parts of the world is causing concern for the future
  of wintertime recreation activities. Water stored as snow and ice makes a 
 critical contribution to the world’s available freshwater supply and is ess
 ential to the sustenance of natural ecosystems, agriculture and human socie
 ties. Mass loss continues from glaciers and ice fields in all mountainous r
 egions of the world and from Arctic and sub-Arctic ice caps. The two large 
 ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are major contributors to rising sea
 -level and are now beginning to show signs of irreversible mass loss. The a
 real extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice cover continues to decline and 
 the resulting albedo changes are now believed to affect winter weather patt
 erns in North America and Eurasia. Increasing attention is being given to h
 azards due to thinning of lake and river ice cover and permafrost degradati
 on, including slope failure, which calls for increased in situ monitoring a
 nd the development of new remote sensing techniques.\nThis symposium will b
 ring together scientists, stakeholders and policy makers for a discussion o
 n the latest results from studies of the entire cryosphere, which plays an 
 important role in the hydrological cycle and the Earth System and is one of
  the most useful indicators of climate change. The symposium will allow amp
 le time for panel discussions on scientific results, new technologies, rese
 arch gaps and future perspectives in the light of the Paris Agreement, whic
 h calls for limiting global warming to 1.5–2°C.\nImportant dates:\nDecember
