The 12th International Symposium on Permafrost Engineering
Published 27 May, 2024
The International Symposium on Permafrost Engineering (ISPE) originated from China-Russia bilateral academic conferences. Russia held the first conference in Chita in 1993, and from then, they the conference took place in Harbin China (1996), Chita Russia (1998), Lanzhou China (2000), Yakutsk Russia (2002), Lanzhou China (2004), Chita Russia (2007), Xi’an China (2009), Mirny Russia (2011), Harbin China (2014), and Magadan Russia (2017).
This year, the 12th International Symposium on Permafrost Engineering (ISPE 2024) will be held in Lanzhou, China from Oct 11-13. It aims to further research on the interactions between frozen ground in cold region and the environment, engineering, climate, and ecology, and to deepen the scientific and technical exchanges and cooperation in the fields of permafrost science and engineering between permafrost communities.
