Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Abstract Scientific study of most components of the cryosphere (all forms of terrestrial snow and ice) began around 1900. The term “cryosphere” was introduced in 1923 by A.B. Dobrowolski, in Poland, but came into wide use only in the 1990s. The advent of remote sensing in the 1970s has played a major role in global mapping and in monitoring components of the cryosphere.
