Contributing to climate science through research in polar and high-altitude regions: the early-career researchers’ point of view

During this session, young Swiss polar scientists from different disciplines will present and exchange on their research and recent field campaigns in polar and high-altitude regions. They will underline thematic variety of research conducted in polar regions, including the Third Pole, and highlight how their research contributes to a better understanding of the global climate questions and processes.
