Abstract:

Antarctic glaciology and global change is the major topic of the international symposium on “Antarctic and Global Change :Interactions and Impacts” held recently. Several key research fields,including monitoring and evaluation of Antarctic mass balance throughout field measurement,GPS,satellite techniques and digital modelling;Atmospheric and environmental chemistry as well as climate record in Antarctic snow and ice;Deep ice core study and its comparison with other paleoenvironmental records,are currently focused in Antarctic glaciological study. The latest international research developments in these aspects are comprehensively discussed in the paper.
