Cryosphere Studies in Himalaya.
The Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate.
Glaciers, climate and Cryosphere research are areas where the backbone is physics
and geophysics.
In other terms, it has an atmosphere, a hydrosphere, a Cryosphere and a lithosphere.
Impacts and reduction on Communities, Soil, and the Cryosphere in the Andes, Himalayas- and Globally. Languages- EN.
The Cryosphere is the second largest component of the climate system,
after the ocean, that stores about 75% of the world's freshwater.
In August, it presented a report on climate change and land and
in September one on the oceans and Cryosphere in a changing climate.
For the first time, the international team of scientists behind the report
are projecting that some island nations are likely to become uninhabitable due to climate-related ocean and Cryosphere change.
The new Ocean and Cryosphere Report is the last of a three series of reports
to be produced by the IPCC in order to evaluate climate change impacts on specific topics.
The latest report, on Ocean and Cryosphere, is the last in a series of three that the IPCC had
been asked to produce to assess the impacts of climate change on specific themes.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) in their 5th Assessment Report states that there has
been a continued net loss of ice from the Cryosphere, although there are significant differences in the rate of loss between Cryosphere components
and regions.
Titled,“The Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate”, the IPCC report evaluates climate change on the oceans, which blanket 71% of the earth's surface, and the Cryosphere--frozen areas,
such as glaciers and ice sheets, which cover 10% of the planet.
