AGU, American Geophysical Union
AGU is a worldwide scientific community that advances, through unselfish cooperation in research, the understanding of Earth and space for the benefit of humanity (John, A, Orcutt, President). More … AGU, Cryosphere Focus Group Cryospheric science studies the portion of the Earth's surface where water is in a solid form, usually snow or ice. This includes ice sheets, glaciers, sea ice, freshwater ice, snow, and frozen ground (or permafrost). The Cryosphere Focus Group acts as a liaison between the cryospheric science research community and AGU administration. It is a vehicle to promote and strengthen cryospheric science within AGU, as well as ensure that our needs as a scientific community are met through AGU Meetings and Publications. More …
