The cryosphere is the best and most sensitive barometer of climate change.

Analysis of 1,015 floods, published in Science Bulletin, confirms significant rise in flood frequency since 2000.

Greenland’s ice sheet is rapidly losing ice, pushing it towards an irreversible tipping point that could raise sea levels.

Greenland's ice sheet has been losing a staggering amount of ice at an accelerating rate. A tipping point could come by the ...

Collectively, these make up the cryosphere, and although we may not live near glaciers or ice sheets or sea-ice, and the ground under our feet may not be frozen, there are many reasons why we ...

The ‘artificial cryosphere’ – Twilley’s name for this system of chilled and frozen warehouse space – is vast and still growing: it increased globally by nearly 20 per cent between 2018 and 2020.

The formation, movement and melting of icebergs offer insights into some of the most extreme areas of the cryosphere, like Antarctica and Greenland.

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.

As a condition of using these data, you must cite the use of this data set. Such a practice gives credit to data set producers and advances principles of transparency and reproducibility. Other ...
