The aim of the working group is to initiate scientific programs and international cooperation between glaciologists and climate modellers to develop the understanding of arctic land ice and its role in global climatic and environmental changes.
The working group should strive to achieve this aim by:

• Promotion of effective information exchange in Arctic glaciology including contacts with other scientific communities
• Initiation of symposia and workshops
• Initiation of a scientific planning process leading to an Arctic glaciological research programme
• Revision and review of existing and planned research programmes
• Advising IASC on glaciological matters
