Session Description:
The cryosphere is home to Earth’s frozen systems including glaciers, ice sheets, seasonal snow cover, permafrost, and sea ice. It is an integral part of the global climate system and is wasting at a rapid rate due to warming. The cryosphere has been identified as an important component of biogeochemical cycles at local to global scales, and understanding how cryospheric changes are impacting biogeochemical cycles is critical for anticipating future trajectories. Here we focus on micro- to macro- scale cryosphere-biogeochemical linkages in the past, present and future. We particularly encourage contributions focusing on carbon and nutrient cycling responses and feedbacks.  This highly multidisciplinary session brings together a diverse range of scientists with interests spanning microbiology, biogeochemistry, glaciology, hydrology and oceanography of the coldest places on Earth to debate our current understanding and recent advances.
