Polar regions & the cryosphere

Notes:

· On this page, there is no special section for climate

   change since, due to the severety and ubiquity of

   climate change impacts on the polar environment,

   nearly every link on this page in some way touches

   on climate change.  

· Cryosphere defintion: “...the part of the Earth

   system that includes solid precipitation, snow, sea

   ice, lake and river ice, icebergs, glaciers and ice

   caps, ice sheets and ice shelves, and permafrost and

   seasonally frozen ground.”*
