Climate and Cryosphere

Climate and Cryosphere Core Project of the World Climate Research Programme

Improving our understanding of Earth's frozen parts and their connection to global climate

The CliC Project is targeted at finding solutions to key scientific questions and to building capacity in the areas of cryospheric monitoring, process studies, data management and access, modeling, and communication of cryosphere research to decision-makers and society.
