Symposium topics include the following, and should be focused on studies in high mountain Asia:
- Past, present, and future glacier change (reconstructions, observations, projections)
- Observations and models of glacier dynamics (including glacier response times, and thickness and volume of ice)
- Glacier and snow melt processes (debris cover, supraglacial lakes, black carbon, etc.)
- Hydrology of glacierized catchments
- High-altitude meteorology, climate downscaling, and climatic change (ice core records, etc.)
- Glacial hazards (GLOFs, avalanches, mass movements)
- Permafrost studies (measurement, modeling, distribution)
- Impacts of cryospheric change (local and regional water resources, ecosystems, etc.)
