Cryosphere Science

Cryosphere Science studies Earth's frozen regions, including glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice, and permafrost. It explores their physical properties, how they interact with the climate, and their role in the global climate system. These frozen areas store large amounts of freshwater and influence sea levels, weather patterns, and ecosystems. Understanding the cryosphere helps scientists predict changes caused by global warming, track sea-level rise, and assess impacts on habitats and human societies. It is a crucial field for understanding Earth's climate dynamics and the effects of climate change on our planet.
