Webinar "The Greenland Ice Sheet and Alpine Glaciers as Sentinels of Climatic Change" organised by the IAHR Italy YPN
Friday, 24 October 2025
14:00 (Italy, CEST) | UTC: 12:00 | New York (EDT): 08:00 | New Delhi (IST): 17:30 | Beijing (CST): 20:00 | (Duration: approximately 60 minutes)
Part of the series: “Online Meetings with Young Researchers and Their Professors from Italian Universities”
Overview
In this webinar organised by the IAHR Italy Young Professionals Network, Dr. Paolo Colosio from the University of Brescia will present his research on how the Greenland Ice Sheet and the Alpine cryosphere are responding to climate change, and Prof. Roberto Ranzi will deliver the opening and closing remarks. Under Prof. Ranzi’s supervision, his research combines satellite data, field observations, and modeling to assess the impacts of glacier melt on hydrological systems.
