International glaciological symposium opens in Lanzhou

    Under auspices of the International Glaciological Society, the 
International Symposium on High-elevation Glaciers and Climate Records 
opened on Sept. 5 in Lanzhou, capital of northeast China's Gansu Province. 
Co-sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, CAS and 
China Meteorological Administration, the four-day meeting has brought 
together about more than 100 glacialists from 10 or so countries to share 
their up-to-date advances in the field.

    Glacial variations, snow cover and glacial records are very important 
issues in the study of climatic changes, water resources and disasters in 
high-elevation regions. This symposium will focus on glacier variations, 
processes and their consequences, snow cover and related processes, and 
climate records from glaciers.
