International Commission for Snow and Ice

The International Commission for Snow and Ice (ICSI) is a global organization dedicated to studying and understanding snow and ice phenomena. It promotes scientific research on glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice, and snow processes, fostering collaboration among scientists worldwide. The ICSI aims to improve knowledge about how ice and snow influence Earth's climate, sea levels, and ecosystems. Through conferences, publications, and data sharing, it supports efforts to monitor changes in icy regions, which are critical indicators of climate change. Its work helps inform policies for environmental protection and sustainable management of frozen freshwater resources.
