Abstract

Within the framework of the XXIX Meeting of the Argentine Association of Geophysicists and Geodesists on August 3, 2021, the cryospheric Round Table was held on recent results and future challenges of scientific research in South American glaciers. This table had the participation of leading international scientists who presented their most recent work carried out throughout the Andes, who shared their ideas and projects with more than 100 non-contact participants who listened, commented and asked questions with great interest. on the present and future of the South American cryosphere.
