Earth Observation from Space: The Cryosphere

An overview of the cryosphere and how scientists use satellite measurements of the cryosphere to understand climate change

Exploring how we can use satellites to measure and track changes in sea ice, and what this can tell us about our changing climate

Understanding the difference between the ice sheets and ice shelves, and looking at changes that are taking place in the polar regions

A look at elements of the cryosphere that exist away from the polar regions and how earth observation is improving our understanding of the cryosphere as a whole
