Glaciers are critical hydrological components in mountainous regions across the globe. Glacier change can affect geohazards, water resources, and sea levels. Predicting and quantifying these consequences requires an improved understanding of the physical processes that govern glacier change and an innovative fusion of observations and models. In support of internationally coordinated efforts, including the Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise (GlaMBIE-2), this session unites in situ, remote sensing, and modeling studies of glacier change outside of the ice sheets. We invite contributions that apply creative techniques involving machine learning/AI or novel observation techniques. We furthermore aim to highlight studies that address scientific problems that impede the precision of glacier change projections, including glacier sliding/surging, firn densification, albedo feedback, englacial hydrology, and glacier area change detection. Finally, we encourage contributions on real-world problems that glaciological studies can help, including glacial lake outburst floods, tsunamigenic landslides, and other glacier-related hazards.
