Permafrost
A@A Knowledge Network ‘Solution Showcase’: the cryosphere edition
Join the Adaptation at Altitude Knowledge Network for a series of speed talks on adaptation technologies, approaches, or processes that are addressing the impacts of climate change on glaciers, snow, ice, and permafrost in mountainous regions.
State of the Cryosphere Report 2022
Discover the latest science on the Earth’s snow and ice regions in this report, reviewed and supported by over 60 leading cryosphere scientists. Learn about how a combination of melting polar ice sheets, vanishing glaciers, and thawing permafrost will have rapid, irreversible, and disastrous effects on the Earth’s population.
