The 2017 ISPRS Workshop on Cryosphere and Hydrosphere for

The 2017 ISPRS Workshop on Cryosphere and
Hydrosphere for Global Change Studies (CHGCS 2017)
Sept 20-21, 2017
Wuhan, Hubei, China
In conjunction with the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2017

First Circulation
Earth’s climate is changing, and multiple lines of evidence suggest significant warming in the cryosphere,
the oceans and the atmosphere. The global surface temperature is increasing, the global sea level is rising,
the ice is melting, and changes in the pattern of precipitation are bringing intense rainfall and floods to some
areas and devastating droughts to others. Satellite remote sensing and associated airborne and in situ
measurements have been crucial for advancing our understanding of the dynamics and impacts on global
climate system. This international workshop aims to present the state-of-the-art advances in remote sensing
research with cryospheric and hydrological applications.
CHGCS 2017 provides an opportunity for all professionals involved in cryosphere and hydrosphere to share
research ideas and results, foster and enhance cooperation, draw inspirations and maximize potentials. It
will take place from Sep 20-21, 2017 in Wuhan, Hubei, China, organized by ISPRS WG III/9 Cryosphere
and Hydrosphere. The event will be held in conjunction with the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2017 (website:
http://gsw2017.3snews.net) from Sep18-22, 2017.
Themes of the Workshop
The themes of the event cover a wide range of remote sensing research and applications relevant to the
cryosphere and hydrosphere, including, but not limited to the following aspects:

glaciers and ice sheets

sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic

mass balance

river and lake ice

seasonal snow cover

albedo at high latitudes

permafrost

cryosphere-atmosphere interaction

himalayan cryosphere

digital elevation models

changing water cycle

ocean, land and cryospheric interactions

surface water and groundwater hydrology

evapotranspiration

droughts and floods

coastal environments and sea-level rise

soil moisture and precipitation

water resource

data assimilation to cryospheric and hydrological models

retrieval of satellite cryospheric and hydrological parameters
Submission of Papers
High-quality extended abstracts and papers covering one or more of the above topics should be submitted
electronically
using
the
conference
