Dear colleagues,
Please see the following mountain cryosphere session announcement for
the AGU Fall Meeting:
C047: "The Cryosphere in Mountain Regions under a Warming Climate"
<https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm15/preliminaryview.cgi/Session8629>
Session Description:
The major components of the cryosphere in mountain regions--such as
glaciers, snow cover, permafrost, seasonally frozen ground, as well as
lake and river ice--are sensitive components of the climate system and
provide key indicators of climate change. The cryosphere in mountain
regions has experienced dramatic changes in recent decades. Changes in
major cryospheric components over mountain regions have impacts on sea
level, water resources, ecology, the frequency of glacier lake outbursts
and other natural hazards, and thus have environmental and engineering
significance. We welcome contributions from a broad range of mountain
cryospheric research including climate change in cold and arid regions;
observed changes; climatic and environmental records; impacts on sea
level, water resources, and ecosystems; modeling; hazards; adaptation
and regional sustainable development; and impacts of the mountain
cryosphere on cold regions engineering.
