The Cryosphere (TC) is a not-for-profit international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and discussion of research articles, short communications, and review papers on all aspects of frozen water and ground on Earth and on other planetary bodies.

The main subject areas are ice sheets and glaciers, planetary ice bodies, permafrost, river and lake ice, seasonal snow cover, sea ice, remote sensing, numerical modelling, in situ and laboratory studies of the above and including studies of the interaction of the cryosphere with the rest of the climate system.

06 Jul 2020 Press Release: First findings from the MOSAiC ice floe

The New Siberian Islands were the birthplace of the MOSAiC floe: the sea ice in which the research vessel Polarstern is now drifting through the Arctic was formed in December 2018 off the coast of the archipelago, which separates the East Siberian Sea and the Laptev Sea to the north of Siberia. Please read the study that MOSAiC experts have published now in The Cryosphere, and which will provide the basis for numerous upcoming scientific assessments.
