Climate and Cryosphere Project (CliC)

The Climate and Cryosphere Project (CliC) is an international research initiative focused on understanding how polar regions—like the Arctic and Antarctic—respond to climate change. These areas contain vast amounts of ice, which influence global sea levels and weather patterns. CliC studies how ice sheets, glaciers, sea ice, and snow are changing over time, and how these changes impact the Earth's climate system. By improving knowledge of the cryosphere, CliC helps scientists predict future environmental shifts and informs policies to address climate change's global effects.
