Session title: Evolution of Earth Cryosphere in changing climatic conditions and

under a human-induced disturbances

Chairperson (s) Victor Popovnin begemotina@hotmail.com / Dmitry Streletskiy strelets@gwu.edu

Session outline

The Earth Cryosphere is a dynamic system sensitive to the environmental change. Monitoring of cryosphere components is essential in understanding climatic and environmental variability and trends. The complexity of cryosphere is attributed to variable reaction of its components (glaciers, permafrost, snow) on changing climatic conditions. Cryosphere changes are not uniform and have significant regional differences requiring detailed investigations in various physiographic conditions. The main goal of contemporary studies of Earth Cryosphere is assessment of cryospheric changes and impacts of these changes on nature and society in global and regional scales. Such studies are particularly important for Russia, where more than half of terrestrial surface is occupied by permafrost. Permafrost regions are rich in mineral resources, have developed industrial and economic activities and are characterized by presence of large population centers. Warming climatic conditions observed in majority of the Arctic decreasing stability of cryosphere components and lead to intensification of hazardous glacial and cryogenic processes. Economic and land use activities possess additional pressure on cryospheric systems. The session is inviting presentations on peleoreconstructions; monitoring of various cryospheric components; modeling of interactions between cryosphere and other components of natural and technogenic environment; forecast of cryospheric components to develop adaptation and mitigation strategies.

Instruction for Abstract Submission

Abstracts will be reviewed and selected for oral or poster presentations by the session organizers and/or commission chairs. Preference for oral or poster presentation may be indicated upon submission.

When submitting, first select the category and specific session in which you wish to place your abstract (see the session list). Please note that the session organisers reserve the right to decide on the final assignment of abstracts.

IMPORTANT:

Please clearly indicate the presenting author. You can include the names of up to 15 co-authors as well (using “et al.” or a team name is also permitted).

An abstract should contain a maximum of 1,800 characters, including spaces (approximately 250 words). The submission system will show how many characters there are in your abstract.

Titles should consist of no more than 20 words. No abbreviations are to be used in titles.

All abstracts must be written in English or French.

You can choose from the following presentation types: oral, poster or no preference. In cases of no preference, the convener will decide on the final presentation type.
