This track focuses on the complex interactions between the cryosphere and climate systems. It aims to explore the feedback mechanisms that influence climate variability and change in polar and mountainous regions.

This session will examine the hydrological processes associated with glaciers and their contribution to regional water resources. Discussions will include glacial runoff dynamics and the implications for water availability in downstream ecosystems.

This track addresses the processes governing snowmelt and its effects on hydrological cycles. Researchers will present findings on the timing, magnitude, and implications of snowmelt for water supply and ecosystem health.

This session will delve into the physical processes governing ice sheet dynamics and their role in climate feedback mechanisms. Presentations will highlight recent advancements in understanding ice sheet stability and mass loss.

This track will explore the hydrological implications of permafrost thawing and its impact on ecosystems. Topics will include the release of greenhouse gases and changes in hydrological pathways due to permafrost degradation.

This session focuses on the quality of water derived from glacial sources and its implications for aquatic ecosystems. Researchers will discuss the chemical and biological characteristics of glacial runoff and its influence on downstream water bodies.
