Nov. 8 (Monday): Mountain Glaciers and Snow: Worldwide<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

10:00\u00a0\u00a0 Southern Hemisphere Glaciers: Andes and New Zealand<\/strong><\/p>\n

The glaciers of the Andes, Patagonia and New Zealand are among those in the world losing ice most quickly.\u00a0 This event will look at projections for the future at different emissions choices, and implications for water resources and local populations.<\/p>\n

Organized by ETH Zurich and University of Victoria\/Wellington<\/p>\n

Speakers: Lauren Vargo, Victoria University of Wellington\/Te Herenga Waka; Loris Compagno, ETH Zurich; Georg Kaser, IPCC\/Professor Emeritus, University of Innsbruck<\/p>\n

11:30\u00a0\u00a0 Snowpack, Glaciers and Water Supply: Future Projections<\/strong><\/p>\n

The IPCC\u2019s recent AR6\/Physical Science report noted that glaciers are now receding and losing ice worldwide, even in regions where they seemed stable before.\u00a0 Most glacier regions have now passed \u201cpeak water,\u201d where melt was at its highest. Snowpack also is decreasing in important watersheds, such as the North American West.\u00a0 Glaciers have shown they can recede quickly and even disappear; but they will be slow to grow back, especially with continued high emissions and temperatures.\u00a0 What will be the implications for ecosystem services such as electric power, water supplies for drinking and agriculture, and other needs?<\/p>\n

Organized by the University of Oslo<\/p>\n

Speakers: Regine Hock, IPCC\/University of Oslo\/University of Alaska; Loris Compagno, ETH Zurich<\/p>\n

13:00\u00a0\u00a0 Preservation of Glaciers at 1.5\u00b0C<\/strong><\/p>\n

For some mid-latitude glacier regions such as Scandinavia and the western U.S., the difference between 1.5\u00b0C and 2\u00b0C is the difference between some small preservation of glacier ice; and none at all.\u00a0 A region-by-region run through of the benefits of meeting the 1.5\u00b0C goal for the world\u2019s glacier systems.<\/p>\n

Organized by the University of Oslo<\/p>\n

Speakers: Valerie Masson-Delmotte, IPCC Vice-chair; Regine Hock, IPCC\/University of Oslo\/University of Alaska; Georg Kaser, IPCC\/Professor Emeritus, University of Innsbruck<\/p>\n

14:30\u00a0\u00a0 Importance of Snow: Seasonal Scottish and U.S. Cryosphere<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scotland has no glaciers, but extensive seasonal cryosphere in the form of snow; supporting an extensive ski industry as well as other forms of recreation.\u00a0 What is the future of this seasonal snow-based cryosphere in Scotland and globally, and what might be learned from other similar regions with important snow-based industry, such as New England?<\/p>\n

Organized by Cairngorms National Park, ICCI<\/p>\n

Speakers: Grant Moir, Chief Executive, Cairngorms National Park Authority;<\/p>\n

Georg Kaser, IPCC\/Professor Emeritus, University of Innsbruck<\/p>\n

16:00 Joint Event with Geneva Hub: A fragile future: can mountain communities adapt to climate change?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Climate change threatens the vast high latitude and high altitude cold regions of the world that provide freshwater to over half of humanity. What impacts of climate change on the cryosphere have already been experienced in Latin America, Central Asia and the Andes? What risks will these regions be exposed to? After addressing these questions, the panelists will explore adaptation solutions and experiences, especially in mountain areas, with a focus on developing countries.<\/p>\n

Organized by the University of Geneva.<\/p>\n

Speakers: Prof. J\u00f6rg Balsiger, University of Geneva; Prof. Christian Huggel, University of Z\u00fcrich; Prof. Martin H\u00f6lzle, University of Fribourg; Prof. Markus Stoffel, University of Geneva: Randy Mu\u00f1oz, University of Zurich; Dr. Carolina Adler, Mountain Research Initiative; Elena Manaenkova, Deputy Secretary-General, WMO;\u00a0 Dr. Radha Wagle, UNFCCC Focal Point, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Forests and Environment, Nepal; Ms. Nino Tkhilava, UNFCCC Focal Point, Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Georgia; Janine Kuriger, Head, Global Programme Climate Change and Environment, SDC; Marlene Kronenberg, glaciologist, University of Fribourg; Miguel Vera-Lugo, Biologist, Consorcio para el Desarrollo Sostenible de la Ecorregi\u00f3n Andina CONDESAN; Izabella Koziell, Deputy Director General, ICIMOD; with the participation of members of the Swiss delegation.<\/p>\n

18:00\u00a0\u00a0 Life Without Glaciers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are we prepared for the loss of our mountain glaciers? Through concrete examples from three continents — the Tarim Basin, the northern Andes and the Alps — we will explore the direct and indirect consequences of glacier loss; needed emissions reductions to prevent or minimize this outcome; ways to adapt, and levels at which adaptation may not be feasible.<\/p>\n

Organized by Royal Holloway, University of London<\/p>\n

Speakers: Bethan Davies, Royal Holloway; Georg Kaser, IPCC\/Professor Emeritus, University of Innsbruck; Regine Hock, IPCC\/University of Oslo\/University of Alaska; Christian Huggel, University of Z\u00fcrich<\/p>\n
