Innovative Methods for Monitoring Mountain Glaciers under Climate Change and Current Challenges in Glaciology

The conference will include:

• Opening plenary session with keynote addresses by national and international experts.
• Technical sessions on glacier monitoring, snow cover analysis, and glacial hazards.
• Special session on glacier-related data platforms and digital tools (e.g. MODSNOW, WGMS).
• Sessions featuring insights from Hydro4U, Nexus Policy Innovations, the World Bank Drought
  Management Project, and WE-ACT, highlighting climate-resilient hydropower, integrated
  WEFE approaches, improved drought forecasting, and glacier-informed water allocation.
• Training-oriented sessions with live demonstrations and hands-on exercises.
• Panel discussions for exchanging best practices and identifying future priorities.
• Field excursion and cultural program to visit glacier-fed river systems and engage with local
  communities.

This conference will provide a unique opportunity to merge cutting-edge scientific research with
practical solutions for managing the impacts of rapid cryospheric changes. By integrating lessons
from ongoing regional and international projects, it aims to strengthen technical capabilities, foster
cross-border collaboration, and support evidence-based policies that enhance climate resilience
and water security across Central Asia.
