Several times during the history of the Earth extensive ice sheets covered part of the continents. As a result, a significant proportion of freshwater was stored in solid form, which caused a drop in sea level.

This essay proposes a mini-toolkit for ‘cryosphere aesthetics’: the conceptual foundations providing a guide for action for positive environmental change. The essay emphasizes the significance of global and intergenerational aesthetics since climate change means that we must take on board transspatial and trans-temporal phenomena ...

Cryosphere Sciences with NISAR
2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is the ideal instrument for observing polar regions, with its ability to see through clouds and operate during the long polar nights. Since the launch of ERS-1 in 1991, the international constellation of SARs has enabled great progress in our understanding of sea ice, ice sheets, and glaciers.

Preparing for a diminished cryosphere
Sustainability Science, 2021The global implications of a rapidly diminishing Cryosphere urge a human-centered framework to address the sustainability and equity concerns arising from impacts of cryospheric change and economic development. This more inclusive paradigm would enable research and policy approaches premised on causalities, historical injustices, and needs for ...

The global cryosphere encompasses snow and ice in all its forms in the natural environment, including glaciers and ice sheets, sea ice, lake and river ice, permafrost, seasonal snow, and ice crystals in the atmosphere.

A distant look at the cryosphere
Advances in Space Research, 1985Abstract Ninety nine per cent of all the fresh water on the surface of the Earth is in the form of ice. Observations from space have revealed more about the ice than about most other parts of the environment because at the dawn of the satellite era, less was known about it.

climate change and the melting cryosphere
2021Contemporary climate change affects the cryosphere. The consequences of the current melting of the cryosphere due to warming air temperatures affect all components of the climatic and hydrological mechanics. The cryosphere is defined as the cold sphere, and occurs on Earth in various forms from water to solid ice.

Chemical Characteristics of the Cryosphere
2021Cryospheric chemistry is one of the most important research aspects of Cryospheric Science and has important impacts on the climatic and environmental changes. Studies of the chemical characteristics of the cryosphere have mainly focused on the spatial–temporal distribution, sources and processes of chemical components in the continental cryosphere ...

The cryosphere refers to the Earth’s frozen realm. As such, it includes the 10 percent of the terrestrial surface covered by ice sheets and glaciers, an additional 14 percent characterized by permafrost and/or periglacial processes, and those regions affected by ephemeral and permanent snow cover and sea ice.
