| In the past ten years, the glacier and high-angle cryosphere has shrunk, due to climate change. |
| At the largest scale, these include the atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. |
| The cryosphere project and its research activities will reap benefits for many groups for years to come. |
| Understanding the state and variability of the cryosphere in past, present, and future climate regimes is essential to project how changes in the cryosphere will impact atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial, and social systems. |
| For the Alpine countries, these latest findings are of particular significance for the hydrosphere, i.e. the hydrological cycle, and the cryosphere, i.e. snow and ice. |
| By exploring this site you'll discover Arctic animals like the lemming or the polar bear, and you'll meet a few people who can educate you all about the cryosphere and the main traditions and culture of the Inuit people. |
