The 25 contributions present new research results obtained from both experimental and modelling studies of river basins, snow cover, permafrost, glaciers and ecosystems in cold regions located in different physiographic and climatic conditions, from the Andes to the Siberian tundra. Collectively, the studies reveal: physical mechanisms that control cold region hydrological responses to climate change, and consider the sources and magnitude of uncertainties to improve projections of these responses under different geographical conditions and at various time scales. There are three sections to the volume: 1 Mountain hydrological systems; 2.Lowland cold regions; and 3. Changes in cryo- and eco-systems
