Cryospheric Science

Cryospheric science is the study of the Earth's frozen regions, including glaciers, ice caps, sea ice, and snow. It examines how these icy areas exist, how they interact with the surrounding environment, and their role in the global climate system. As climate change affects temperatures and precipitation patterns, cryospheric science helps us understand the impact on sea levels, ecosystems, and weather patterns. By studying ice and snow, scientists can make informed predictions about future climate changes and their consequences for humanity and the planet.
