| Description: | The cryosphere and hydrosphere play critical roles in the energy balance and climate of Earth. Satellite remote sensing and geodetic measurements are leading to definition and evaluation of the changes and their uncertainties. Physical processes governing the changes of the coupled cryosphere-hydrosphere are non-stationary; a complication for modeling, forecasting and predicting the pace and direction of future changes from current trends. We encourage presentations on remote sensing and geodesy applied to measurements of changes of ice sheets and shelves, glaciers, polar sea ice, land water storage, permafrost and frozen ground, snow cover and global and regional sea-level. Synergies of satellite remote sensing and geodesy, with air-land-sea based automated sensing technologies to improve spatial-temporal resolution and modeling for evaluations of the changing cryosphere and hydrosphere are encouraged. |
