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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

BAKU, Nov 12 2024 (IPS) - Scientists warn of vastly higher impacts on billions of people’s livelihood and cost to the global economy by the accelerating losses in the world’s snow and ice regions, aka ...

These are just a few of the stark findings from more than 50 leading snow and ice scientists, which are detailed in a new ...

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 ...

In the report, more than 50 scientists cautioned that if humanity continues with high carbon emissions levels for the rest of the century, the melting cryosphere will bring global ecosystem ...
