The Global Social and Economic Consequences of Mountain Cryospheric Change
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019 The mountain cryosphere provides fresh water and other ecosystem services to half of humanity. The loss of the mountain cryosphere due to global warming is already evident in many parts of the world and has direct implications to people living in ...

A Holistic Assessment of 1979–2016 Global Cryospheric Extent
Earth's Future, 2021 The cryosphere plays a major role in earth's climate system. Most cryospheric assessments focus on one or more of its components and their response to climate change.

Land, 2023 Water storage (WS) is a crucial terrestrial ecosystems service function. In cold alpine regions (CAR), the cryosphere elements are important solid water resources, but the existing methods for quantitatively assessing WS usually ignore cryosphere ...

GSA Today, 2017 This article provides concise documentation of the ongoing retreat of glaciers, along with the implications that the ice loss presents, as well as suggestions for geoscience educators to better convey this story to both students and citizens. We present the retreat of glaciers—the loss of ice—as emblematic of the recent, rapid contraction of the ...

Joint Characterization of the Cryospheric Spectral Feature Space [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Hyperspectral feature spaces are useful for many remote sensing applications ranging from spectral mixture modeling to discrete thematic classification. In such cases, characterization of the feature space dimensionality, geometry and topology can provide guidance for effective model design.

Methane clathrates in the Solar System [PDF]
Astrobiology, Volume 15, Number 4, 2015, 2015 We review the reservoirs of methane clathrates that may exist in the different bodies of the Solar System. Methane was formed in the interstellar medium prior to having been embedded in the protosolar nebula gas phase. This molecule was subsequently trapped in clathrates that formed from crystalline water ice during the cooling of the disk and ...

GIS- and field data based modeling of snow water equivalent in shrub tundra
Лëд и снег, 2015 An approach for snow water equivalent (SWE) modelling in tundra environments has been developed for the test area on the Yamal peninsula. Detailed mapping of snow cover is very important for tundra areas under continuous permafrost conditions, because ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 A permanently installed terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) helps to investigate surface changes at high spatio-temporal resolution. Previous studies show that the annual and seasonal glacier volume, and subsequently the mass balance, can be measured by TLSs.

Cryosphere: a kingdom of anomalies and diversity [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Abstract. The cryosphere of the Earth overlaps with the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere over vast areas with temperatures below zero C and pronounced H2O phase changes. In spite of its strong variability in space and time, the cryosphere plays the role of a global thermostat keeping the thermal regime on the Earth within rather narrow limits ...
