ABOUT THE
PROJECT
LinkIng and QUantifying the Impacts of climate change on inlanD ICE, snow cover, and permafrost on water resources and society in vulnerable regions
Rising temperatures are causing rapid changes to snow, ice and permafrost. These elements play a vital role in regulating the Earth’s climate. These changes threaten ecosystems and water resources in many regions, including Arctic, the Alps and High Mountain Asia. Melting glaciers and ice sheets contribute to rising sea levels, impacting communities worldwide. Understanding these changes is crucial for managing their effects.
PROJECT SUPER-SITES
The LIQUIDICE project is strategically focused on 5 specific glacial basins identified as super study sites covering regions with diverse climatic characteristics and vulnerability to global warming. In these sites, local societies and communities heavily rely on the water supply sourced from these glacial basins, for agriculture, hydroelectric power production, industry and public water supply.
