CryoSCOPE - EU Horizon @cryoscope.bsky.social · 19/08/2026What are we missing when cryosphere data is missing? Potentially, much more than a gap in a dataset. Incomplete observations can make it harder to understand changing water availability, flood risks, glacier behaviour and permafrost stability, and harder to model what comes next. #ClimateData 000
CryoSCOPE - EU Horizon @cryoscope.bsky.social · 18/08/2026💧 What happens to water when the cryosphere changes? Across glaciers, snow and permafrost regions, climate change is altering when, where and how water is stored and released, with consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, hydropower and communities. #Cryosphere #WaterSecurity #ClimateChange 021
