Due to the current situation with COVID-19, the IPA Executive Committee decided that the 12th International (ICOP2020) in Lanzhou, China is postponed to 20-24 June 2022. The Local Organizing Committee will take efforts for a successful conference two years later. The Local Organizing Committee wishes that all the abstracts will be reserved to ICOP 2022, and the registration fee will be refunded to you soon.

Thanks for the understanding on the situation. We hope that the epidemic will soon be over and we will talk about the development of permafrost science and research in the 12th ICOP.


The 12th International Conference on Permafrost (ICOP2020) will be held in Lanzhou, China. The general theme of the congress is “Permafrost Environment Under Persistent Warming: Challenges for Scientific Assessment & Engineering Practice”.
