 |
| NSIDC scientists regularly collaborate
within international teams, such as the IceTrek team pictured above,
to study the cold regions of our planet. For more about IceTrek
and other field research projects, see Education
Center: Studying the Cryosphere. |
Scientists from around the world use data housed at NSIDC to support
their research. Some of these scientists work here at NSIDC, providing
both context and input concerning our data management activities. Through
their research, our scientists help further understanding of the many
changes that our planet isexperiencing.
NSIDC scientists have international recognition in a range of fields
related to the cryosphere. In-house scientists investigate the dynamics
of Antarctic ice shelves, monitor the links between Arctic sea ice and
climate, study new techniques for the remote sensing of snow and freeze/thaw
cycles of soil, account for snow in hydrologic modeling, research large-scale
shifts in polar climate, and investigate seasonally and permanently frozen
ground.
