Sediment Cascades in Cold Climate Geosystems, Zugspitze, Bavaria/Germany, September 1-4, 2014
Changes in climate have a major impact on sediment cascades in high-latitude and high-altitude cold environments from high arctic/antarctic and subarctic/subantarctic to alpine and upland sites. Climate changes influence the nature and extent of glaciers, permafrost areas, ice sheets and the extent and intensity of glacial, peri-, pro- and paraglacial processes. In this context major foci of the workshop are related to:
Changes in climate have a major impact on sediment cascades in high-latitude and high-altitude cold environments from high arctic/antarctic and subarctic/subantarctic to alpine and upland sites. Climate changes influence the nature and extent of glaciers, permafrost areas, ice sheets and the extent and intensity of glacial, peri-, pro- and paraglacial processes. In this context major foci of the workshop are related to:
- observations of geomorphological processes, measurements and modelling of sediment fluxes and budgets in cold climate geosystems in past, present and future,
- the discussion of synthesis chapters of the SEDIBUD book.
