The Cryosphere is an interactive open access journal dedicated to the publication and discussion of research articles, short communications, and review papers on all aspects of snow and ice in the Earth system. It provides a unique forum for the cryospheric community to share and discuss their latest findings.
Topics covered include observations, modelling, and remote sensing of snow, glaciers, ice sheets, permafrost, river and lake ice, and sea ice. The journal aims for a broad scope that encourages studies with interdisciplinary approaches that emphasize the interactions between the cryosphere and other components of the Earth system. Target audience is glaciologists, climatologists, hydrologists, and other earth scientists.
The Cryosphere fosters a transparent and collaborative peer-review process that encourages open scientific discussion, promotes scientific understanding, and facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance research in snow and ice science.
