Background / Introduction

The world is getting more sensitive to the climate change and human activities as floods, droughts, fires, wars, inequality, health emergency, and so on occur more frequently, in turn, exerting an influence on the environmental changes and sustainable development. High Mountain and Cold Regions saw an amplification effect about changes and impacts. Specifically, the High Mountain and Cold Regions are linked with spatial contiguous air and vapor on the sky, permafrost, snow, forest and even hazards on the land, seasonally or perennially. Thus, environmental changes in the high mountain and cold regions cannot be observed and understood in isolation. A better characterizing and understanding the linkages in high mountain and cold regions would be a must to improve the scientific understanding and to design interventions towards adaption.

Both the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Arctic region are sensitive areas of global change and research hotspots, which have an important impact on the implementation of the "Belt and Road". Improving the observation and understanding ability of high mountains and polar cold regions is of great significance to the adaptability of ecological environment and the transportation, large-scale infrastructure, water and agricultural security, and energy pattern involved in human activities.

At present, the rate of warming in the Arctic and the high mountain areas in Asia is 2 or even 3 times more than the global average. Big data based on space observation can obtain macro, long time series and objective data sources for scientific research in remote areas where snow and ice have a large impact. The technology of coordination between ground observation and space observation can obtain multi-element environmental information for scientific research and further deepen the understanding of environmental change.

Filed work in China and abroad are linked more closely by conducting experiments jointly and sharing scientific outputs in different subregions of High Mountain Asia (HMA) and the Arctic Region, with a series of essential variables ranging for decades. Taken together the development of observation systems and great changes in HMA and the Arctic Regions, it is a good opportunity for global and trans-boundary scientific and decision-making cooperation for a shared and better knowledge on HMA and the Arctic Regions.

The workshop is an event in the framework of the international program - “Group on Earth Observations Cold Regions Initiative (GEOCRI) ” and “High Mountain and Cold Regions Working Group (HiMAC) of Digital Belt and Road Program (DBAR) ".
