| summary | The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), part of CIRES at the University of Colorado Boulder, is a leading research center focused on advancing knowledge of Earth’s frozen regions since 1976. The organization provides data, analyses, and educational resources related to the cryosphere, encompassing sea ice, ice sheets, glaciers, ice shelves, snow, frozen ground (including permafrost), and Arctic weather/climate.
Key aspects of NSIDC’s work include:
* Data Collection & Distribution: They collect and distribute data through various programs like the NSIDC DAAC and ELOKA, and facilitate data submissions from other organizations. * Research: They conduct research on topics like glacial melt, sea ice dynamics, and permafrost changes. * Educational Resources: They offer educational materials, including a cryosphere glossary and “What is the Cryosphere” section, to help the public understand these complex systems. * News & Analyses: They provide current news stories, analyses, and visualizations related to cryospheric phenomena through channels like “Sea Ice Today,” “Ice Sheets Today,” and “Snow Today.”
The NSIDC also offers resources for researchers, the public, and educators, and operates a data forum and help center. |
