The 5th Chinese Conference on Frozen Soil Engineering and Cold Region Environments was held in Beijing from May 9 to 11, 2025, under the theme “Intelligent Frozen Soil Engineering, Green Cold Regions Environment.” Jointly hosted by the China Society of Cryospheric Science and the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the event was co-organized by Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing Jiaotong University, Chongqing Jiaotong University, and the State Key Laboratory of Cryospheric Science and Frozen Soil Engineering. The conference drew more than 500 participants – scientists, engineers, and graduate students – from 109 institutions across China.
The scientific program included 16 keynote presentations, 203 regular presentations, and 86 graduate student reports across 13 sessions. The topics ranged from AI-empowered frozen soil mechanics and engineering, frozen soil physics, multiphysics coupling theories and numerical methods, to technologies for enhancing safety and resilience in frozen soil engineering. Discussions focused on cutting-edge developments in fundamental theories, technological innovation, engineering design, and safety management related to frozen soil engineering and cold region environments.
Over the three-day conference, participants from diverse institutions actively shared their research achievements and exchanged academic insights, showcasing outstanding professional expertise.
