The scientific program of ISAR-8 consists of Plenary, Regular, and Special sessions. In addition to 10 Regular sessions, proposals for special sessions are now solicited. Sessions with interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary themes as well as those focusing on specific topics are encouraged.

Regular Session topics include:

  • Atmosphere;
  • Ocean and sea ice;
  • Rivers, lakes, permafrost, and snow cover;
  • Ice sheets, glaciers, and ice cores;
  • Terrestrial ecosystems;
  • Marine ecosystems;
  • Geospace;
  • Laws, politics, and economy;
  • Language, culture, and environment; and
  • Engineering for sustainable development.

The proposers of the session are expected to be the conveners who determine acceptance of individual abstracts (accept/reject), the format of presentations (oral/poster), orders, and the time length of each oral presentation. They are also responsible for facilitating the presentations during the session.
