In the 'State of the Cryosphere 2024 – Lost Ice, Global Damage' report, over 50 leading cryosphere scientists warn of vastly higher impacts and costs to the global economy given accelerating losses in ...

We study snow, glaciers and ice and how they impact landscapes and hydrology. We employ a range of field and laboratory approaches to measure and model the many surface processes that are involved.

Cryosphere and polar science study the frozen water part of the Earth system, ranging from the glaciers of Greenland to the ice sheets of the Antarctic. Antarctica photo by Jack Pan.

WMO has issued new guidance on the measurement of permafrost and glaciers as part of wider efforts to improve observations and monitoring of the world’s rapidly changing cryosphere. This guide will ...

Changes to our oceans and cryosphere - the world's frozen places - have global climate impacts for nature and people. We're already seeing more extreme weather, extensive coral reef bleaching and sea ...

Wellington, the New Zealand capital, is anticipating welcoming 500 of the world’s leading climate scientists when it hosts ...

We address glacial and periglacial processes in polar and alpine environments – the cryosphere -- as their evolution most clearly reflects the variations in climatic forcing, and as these landscapes ...

Blooms of extremophile ‘glacier algae’ lower the bare ice albedo of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), amplifying summer energy absorption at the ice surface and enhancing meltwater runoff from the ...

A new study led by researchers from ETH Zurich and Vrije Universiteit Brussel and published in The Cryosphere provides the ...

Scientists warned for the first time in a new report that melting ice sheets might be slowing key ocean currents at both ...
