This conference – held on 20–23 September 2021 – brought together over 200 scientists and early career researchers from across the world, who presented on permafrost science from the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region, Europe, and North America, covering a wide range of climatic and landscape types. Such knowledge sharing on permafrost research is crucial since permafrost measurements require long-term, regional planning. Moreover, the HKH region needs such collaboration since permafrost monitoring here has been limited to sporadic field and remote-sensing investigations, except in the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau.
The researchers presenting at the conference shared some key messages and developments in permafrost research:
