CRYOsphere Science Concluding in new Observations and Productive Exploitation

Project description

Novel observations and process modelling of globally significant cold spots

Monitoring inland ice is crucial for understanding cold-region processes and predicting climate-driven changes and hazards. The EU-funded CryoSCOPE brings together a consortium of experts in inland ice-related fields, including leading global research organisations and industry partners. The project addresses challenges linked to evolving land ice, snow and permafrost through advanced in situ and remote sensing of the atmosphere, aerosols, cryosphere and hydrology. Utilising state-of-the-art modelling techniques – such as Earth system models, glacier dynamics, hydrological processes, atmospheric drivers and land surface modelling – and cutting-edge AI data analysis, CryoSCOPE delivers innovative solutions. These insights will advance environmental research, support informed decision-making, promote meaningful engagement with end-users, contribute to effective adaptation and mitigation strategies and strengthening climate resilience around the cold spots.

Objective

"The CryoSCOPE project unites a consortium with diverse expertise in inland ice-related fields, comprising top-level global research organizations and companies.We address challenges related to evolving land ice, snow, and permafrost, excelling in comprehensive in situ and remote sensing observations of the atmosphere, aerosols, cryosphere, and hydrology. Proficient in advanced modeling techniques, including global Earth System Models (ESMs), glacier dynamics, hydrological processes, atmospheric drivers, and land surface modeling, we leverage cutting-edge artificial intelligence data analysis tools. Moreover, our consortium has a successful track record in engaging stakeholders, societies, and end-users in impactful dialogues, contributing to the development of effective adaptation and mitigation strategies.
CryoSCOPE aims to demonstrate excellence across the entire value chain by:
Providing advanced observations of the CAH system in globally significant ""cold spots,"" including the Indian Himalayas, the Alps, Iceland, Northern Scandinavia, and Svalbard.
Integrating observation-constrained modeling, spanning from detailed process models to Earth System Models (ESMs), enhancing our understanding of physical and chemical processes of the CAH system.
Generating new knowledge on cryosphere-ecosystem changes in targeted regions and globally, enabling predictions of the impacts of climate change and related drivers across seasonal to long-term time scales.
Developing societally impactful services and solutions to bolster resilience against the changes occurring at various time scales.
The overarching scientific objective of CryoSCOPE is to understand and quantify physical and chemical processes of the CAH system in diverse landscapes and found the intricate interplay among different processes. This encompasses examining how these interactions are represented within regional process-based models and global ESMs, and predicting their susceptibility to climate change impacts.
