Dear Capsule Readers-
After a several-week break during the COP30 and pre-COP preparations, the Cryosphere Capsules are back! In addition to recent policy-relevant cryosphere science summaries, we’ll be catching up with articles missed in October-November especially.
In addition, look for Cryosphere Pavilion summaries and links to recordings of side events that could not be livestreamed due to technical difficulties in the early days of COP30; or scheduled events after the November 20 fire, which closed the COP30 Cryosphere Pavilion prematurely.
Thanks again for your patience during an intense period; and as always, feel free to reach out to Amy at amy@iccinet.org with tips on important new science that you’d like to see covered here.
All best from the Cryosphere Capsules team at ICCI!
