Aims & Scope

The journal was established with the aim of publishing new research results of the Earth cryosphere.

Results of works in physics, mechanics, geophysics, and geochemistry of snow and ice are published here together with geographical aspects of the snow-ice phenomena occurrence in their interaction with other components of the environment.

The challenge was to discuss the latest results of investigations carried out on Russia’s territory and works performed by Russian investigators together with foreign colleagues.

Editorial board works in collaboration with Glaciological Association that is professional community of specialists in glaciology from all republics of the Former Soviet Union which are now new independent states.

The journal serves as a platform for the presentation and discussion of new discoveries and results which help to elucidate the state of the Earth’s cryosphere and the characteristics of the evolution of the snow-ice processes and phenomena under the current conditions of rapid climate change.
