Scientists find accelerating pace of glacial shrinkage in most regions
Glaciers lost more than 9,000 billion tons of ice since 1961, raising water levels by 27 millimeters worldwide.
The International Association of Cryospheric Sciences is a constituent association of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). It promotes and coordinates international research in all aspects of the cryosphere, including snow, glaciers, ice sheets, and frozen ground. Its work is essential for understanding the effects of climate change, sea-level rise, and the management of global water resources.
