Cryospheric Sciences is the study of the Earth's cryosphere, which includes all frozen water components such as glaciers, ice caps, sea ice, and permafrost. This field examines how these icy regions interact with the climate system, including their role in global sea levels and weather patterns. Researchers in Cryospheric Sciences use various tools and techniques, including satellite observations and field measurements, to monitor changes in ice and snow. Understanding these changes is crucial for predicting future climate impacts and assessing the health of ecosystems that depend on frozen water, such as those in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
