Dear colleagues,
We invite you to join us and participate in the Joint Inter-Association Symposium JC2:
*Impact of Climate Warming on High-Latitude and High-Altitude Hydro- and Cryosphere (IACS, IAHS/ICSIH, IAMAS)*
http://www.iugg2015prague.com/joint-inter-asociation-symposia.htm#JC
"At both high latitudes and high altitudes, impact of climate change on the cryosphere is intimately linked to that on the hydrosphere. Snow and ice melt constitute highly relevant components of the annual hydrological cycle. Being able to predict the amount and timing of meltwater is therefore important for managing water resources and preventing natural hazards both today and in the future. Moreover, the interplay of cryo-, hydro, and atmosphere in mountainous regions, but also at high latitudes, gains increasing attention. For example, internal accumulation due to refreezing is a key uncertainty of firn and mass balances of snow and ice covered areas and not fully understood yet. This joint Symposium will focus on advances in the coupled cryo-hydro-atmosphere, including process understanding, observational advances, model development and validation, applications, climate change impacts and projections under a changing climate. Ecological implications of changing cryo- and hydrospheres are also welcome."
The Symposium is part of the 26th IUGG General Assembly, 23 June - 28 June 2015 in Prague, Czech Republic (http://www.iugg2015prague.com)
Deadline for abstract submission is Saturday, 31 January 2015. Don't miss it and see you in Prague. --
