3rd ACOP 2026

The Asian continent, being the largest in the world, is home to the planet's most extensive permafrost areas. These regions feature various types of permafrost, including longitudinal, alpine, and plateau permafrost. Due to global warming, permafrost is degrading at varying rates, with its disappearance most noticeable at the marginal zones of permafrost regions. This thawing process presents significant challenges to global communities, such as increased greenhouse gas emissions, reduced surface water in arid regions, and complications related to infrastructure built on permafrost.

We invite scientists and engineers to submit proposals for sessions at our conference on topics related to permafrost science and engineering, under the theme, "Challenges Posed by Asian Permafrost Thaw to the Global Community."

The Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that the deadline for submitting session proposals has been extended to April 30, 2025, giving participants additional time to prepare their submissions.

Session Call Period:

From March 20, 2025, to April 30, 2025.

We are inviting partners and enthusiasts to join us as partners and sponsors for the 3rd ACOP 2026.
