The Alps are undergoing rapid shifts induced by climate change, making it critical to understand how snow and ice respond to a warming climate.
At CryoSCOPE, our partners are investigating these interactions between the atmosphere and the underlying snowpack.

5 glacial lakes in Kashmir have been flagged as high GLOF risk, threatening downstream communities as glaciers melt faster. This is why projects like #CryoSCOPE matter, improving monitoring of cryosphere-atmosphere-hydrosphere systems to strengthen climate resilience.

The Himalayas, the “ThirdPole”, hold some of the largest reserves of ice. These glaciers feed rivers that sustain nearly 1.9 billion people across Asia.
At CryoSCOPE, researchers are studying how snow, ice, and groundwater interact in these fragile mountain systems.
From the #Himalayas to the #Arctic, #CryoSCOPE’s field sites anchor our research on Cryosphere–Atmosphere–Hydrosphere systems. They capture real-world data on #snow, #ice, #water, and #air, linking local change to global #climate insights.

Happy New Year from CryoSCOPE ✨
An EU–India project advancing cryosphere science during the Decade of Action.
From the Himalayas to the Arctic & Alps, we’re strengthening understanding of cryosphere–atmosphere–hydrosphere systems.
Stay tuned for more data, insights, and science ahead. ❄️🌍
As 2025 ends, we mark the first year of the UN’s Decade of Action for cryospheric sciences. With ice, snow, and permafrost changing fast, CryoSCOPE combines field data, satellites, and AI across the Arctic, Alps, and Himalayas to better understand climate–cryosphere links.

Research shows “peak extinction” for Alpine glaciers is near. #CryoSCOPE explores how glacier melt reshapes mountain water, ecosystems & climate, providing insights before critical thresholds are crossed. 🏔️🌨️

#ClimateChange #ClimateAction
Through #CryoSCOPE, researchers are creating a connected data network spanning the #Arctic, #Alps, and #Himalayas, linking local observations into a global picture of Earth’s changing water and energy cycles.
Because without reliable data, there can be no reliable climate predictions. ❄️
Every snow sample, water reading, & satellite observation helps scientists
🔹 Detect signs of change in ice, snow, and water systems
🔹 Validate and refine climate and hydrological models
🔹 Turn local field measurements into global insights
🔹 Build the evidence needed for sound adaptation policies

❄️ CryoSCOPE at the National Snow Seminar 2024 – Oulu, Finland ❄️
CryoSCOPE researcher Pertti Ala-aho (University of Oulu) participated in the two-day National Snow Seminar (30–31 Oct), which gathered snow experts, researchers, and students to discuss the latest innovations in snow science.
🌡️ Early results show isotopes can trace sublimation during snowfall-free periods, a key step in improving climate and water predictions.
