The theme of the 15th ICRSS is “Polar Regions in Transformation – Climatic Change and Anthropogenic Pressures”. Earth’s Polar Regions, including high mountain regions outside the high latitudes, feature cold-climate environments characterized by unique landscapes, biota, and processes. Many of these features and dynamics are Cryosphere-driven and either are already subject to or have the potential for fundamental and rapid changes in a warming world. The myriad of Earth observation technologies provide crucial tools to understand and quantify these changes. The 15th ICRSS in Potsdam is the largest in the conference series to date: About 100 registered participants come from 16 countries, demonstrating the true international character of this otherwise intimate but focused polar symposium. Together, with an engaged Local Organizing Committee and the International Scientific Committee, we organized 10 scientific sessions with 61 oral and 38 poster presentations, covering nearly all fields of Cryosphere research as well as research on northern vegetation and polar oceanography. The symposium program will be headlined by an exciting set of 7 keynote speakers highlighting the scientific frontiers in our research fields.
