Intellectual Merit: The environmental stress on the climate system of our planet rapidly increases, creating novel societal problems too complex to be successfully tackled by traditional scientific approaches. This workshop seeks to address problems for societies created by changes in the regional hydrological cycle as a consequence of ongoing glacier and climate change. Its goals are to (i) review the sensitivity of glaciers to climate change on a near-global scale, (ii) to identify key regions on earth where the urge and potential for a cross-cutting projects are highest, and (iii) design strategies to work towards adaption and mitigation strategies.Broader Impacts: This workshop is to our knowledge unique in including leading experts from disciplines such as glacial geology, glaciology, climatology, hydrology, anthropology, human ecology, and international affairs, providing a forum to create modern approaches to tackle burning environmental problems. The workshop includes young female scientists from the US and Europe and will foster the communication and cooperation between social and natural sciences. Beyond, it will be an excellent opportunity for Columbia University/Lamont students to gain insight in modern environmental sciences.

智力优势：环境对地球气候系统的压力迅速增加，造成了传统科学方法无法成功解决的新的社会问题。该讲习班旨在解决因冰川和气候变化而造成的区域水文循环变化给社会带来的问题。其目标是（i）审查全球范围内冰川对气候变化的敏感性;（ii）确定地球上最迫切需要和最有可能开展跨领域项目的关键区域;（iii）制定战略，努力实现适应和减缓战略。据我们所知，这次研讨会是独一无二的，包括来自冰川地质学、冰川学、气候学、水文学、人类学、人类生态学、和国际事务，提供了一个论坛，以创造现代的方法来解决紧迫的环境问题。研讨会包括来自美国和欧洲的年轻女科学家，将促进社会科学和自然科学之间的交流与合作。除此之外，这将是哥伦比亚大学/拉蒙学生深入了解现代环境科学的绝佳机会。
