The conference will highlight the role played by the cryosphere in the
global climate system. A major aim is to examine and develop ideas for
future collaborative studies in cryospheric and climate research. The
conference will emphasize the role of the cryosphere for the future of
the global environment, and identify gaps in research and understanding
that must be addressed to improve projections of future climate for the
benefit of society. It will establish links between cryospheric research
groups and institutions, and generate plans for new cryosphere/climate
research. CliC activities during the International Polar Year are also
included.
The conference is sponsored by the World Climate Research Programme
(WCRP) and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) in
association with:
China Meteorological Administration
Ministry of Science and Technology of China
Chinese Academy of Sciences
Chinese Arctic and Antarctic Administration
CliC International Project Office
Environment Canada
Natural Science Foundation of China
Norwegian Polar Institute
Other sponsors are actively sought. Please contact the CliC
International Project Office (clic [at] npolar.no) if your institute or
organization is interested in providing direct financial aid or giving
travel support to students and young scientists.
