The Symposium will focus on the dynamics of cryospheric change, interactions with the climate and impact on the living environment of mountainous regions.

The topics of the symposium include:

  • Climate driven glacial change
  • Glacier Hydrology
  • Periglacial/permafrost processes
  • Snow processes

The scientific programme of the Symposium comprising invited lectures, oral presentations and poster sessions. The deadline for submitting posters and oral communications is postponed to July 15, 2014 (http://www.glaciologia.it/registration-and-abstracts-submission/).

A two-days post symposium field trip is planned in Valle d'Aosta (Val Veny, M. Bianco). More information available at: http://www.glaciologia.it/field-trip-2/
