The International Glaciological Society will hold an International Symposium on ‘Ice Streams and Outlet Glaciers’ in 2025. The symposium will be hosted by the Department of Geography, Durham University, Durham, UK, on 21-25th July 2025.
The aim of this symposium is to bring together scientists working on both modern and palaeo-ice streams/outlet glaciers, along with those using numerical modelling, in order to facilitate greater interaction and the cross-pollination of ideas, data and theoretical insight on one of glaciology’s most important topics.
Uno studio coordinato dall’Istituto di scienze polari del Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche, con la partecipazione dell’Università Sapienza e dell’istituto Sintef Ocean, ha rilevato la presenza di farmaci e prodotti per la cura personale nelle acque del fiordo artico Kongsfjorden, alle isole Svalbard. Sul lungo periodo sono a rischio di sopravvivenza gli organismi acquatici che vivono in questo peculiare ecosistema marino. I risultati sono stati pubblicati su Science of The Total Environment
Svalbard as an Arctic hotspot for climate change and international cooperation. Conference 28-29 October 2025 at Quality Hotel Expo, Fornebu (Oslo).
Il fenomeno dell’Arctic greening consiste nell’espansione di vegetazione terrestre al circolo polare artico in un ambiente precedentemente coperto da neve o ghiacci e rappresenta una delle risposte più rilevanti degli ecosistemi terrestri al cambiamento climatico. Uno studio internazionale, coordinato dal Cnr-Isp e svolto in collaborazione con Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research e Joint Research Center-Eni-Cnr, fornisce dati scientifici su come questo processo si sia evoluto nel corso del XX secolo.

The United Nations declared 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation, accompanied by the proclamation of the 21st March of each year as the World Day for Glaciers starting in 2025. This is an opportunity to raise global awareness about the critical role of glaciers, snow and ice in the climate system and the hydrological cycle, and the economic, social and environmental impacts of the impending changes in the Earth’s cryosphere.
