Cryosphere
The cryosphere consists of the snow and ice throughout the world, including glaciers, sea ice and the ice sheets.
Understanding how the cryosphere will change in response to climate remains an important and uncertain area of study. Changes in the cryosphere will also feedback onto climate.
Prof. Britney E. Schmidt, of Cornell University is advancing climate science and planetary habitability studies through her groundbreaking research on ice-ocean interactions and innovative exploration of Earth’s polar regions and icy planetary bodies. She and her team designed, built, and deployed Icefin, a remotely operated vehicle that provides unprecedented insights into Antarctic ice shelf melting and ocean circulation.
