The deadline for submission of abstracts is approaching fast and we
would like to draw your attention to the symposium "TROPICAL GLACIERS:
MASS CHANGES, CLIMATE FORCING AND IMPACTS" at the IUGG General Assembly
in Montreal, Canada (9-13 July, 2019). A full session description is
given below.
The deadline for submission is 18 February 2019.
Kind regards,
Jean Emmanuel Sicart, Nicolas Cullen, Marcos Villacis and Fabien Maussion

C08 – TROPICAL GLACIERS: MASS CHANGES, CLIMATE FORCING AND IMPACTS
Conveners: Jean Emmanuel Sicart (France), Nicolas Cullen (New Zealand),
Marcos Villacis (Ecuador), Fabien Maussion (Austria)
The importance of tropical glaciers for ecosystems, agriculture,
freshwater and energy production is widely recognized but detecting
their response to changes in the climate system remains challenging.
This symposium will focus on the latest efforts and techniques to assess
these changes and responses, using observations, atmospheric and
glaciological modelling and remote sensing, Topics may include but are
not limited to:
- glacier energy and mass balance and their linkages to large-scale
climate variability and change
- assessment of the changes in the area and hypsometry of tropical
glaciers using historical archives and/or integrating field-based
observations with remote sensing
- reconstruction of tropical climate from ice cores and other natural
archives
- the effects of mass changes on hazards and water resources and related
natural and socio-economic systems in the recent past, present and future.
We welcome contributions on all spatial and temporal scales.
