There is a significant retreat and mass loss of glaciers in all mountains of the world. Moreover, Arctic sea ice, seasonal snow cover and permafrost are highly affected by the current and projected climate warming, which may result in significant changes in global atmospheric circulation, as stated by the latest IPCC AR6. Monitoring cryospheric components and their behavior provides not only an effective indicator of climate change, but also allows the effects of these changes on water resources, ecosystems, and socioeconomic processes to be analyzed. Furthermore, remote sensing data are of great benefit for improving and validating climate models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-css wp-custom-css-6aa54bc8 wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop focused on the latest developments in remote sensing of land ice and snow. Presentations covered research and applications related to snow and ice as indicators of a changing cryosphere, methods for retrieving cryospheric parameters from various types of remote sensing data, the theoretical basis and application of inversion methods, state-of-the-art retrieval algorithms including deep learning, data assimilation of remote sensing data and in situ observations in process models, and current and planned sensors for snow and ice. Half a day was dedicated to activities from ESA (CCI+) and EUMETSAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Papers were presented orally and as posters.
