Scope
Cryospheric Sciences welcomes alike studies on glaciers and ice sheets, seasonal snow, frozen ground, and sea, lake and river ice; as well as their interaction with other components of the Earth-climate system. Submitting authors should consult the full section scope and select an Associate Editor with the appropriate expertise to invite to handle their manuscript.
Scope
Cryospheric science is a rapidly expanding and increasingly diverse discipline of Earth Sciences. Cryospheric Sciences, a specialty section of Frontiers in Earth Science, is a gold open-access, peer-reviewed electronic publishing venue devoted to rapid publication of original, innovative, high-quality research on all aspects of the cryosphere on Earth and elsewhere in the solar system. Cryospheric Sciences welcomes alike studies on glaciers and ice sheets, seasonal snow, frozen ground, and sea, lake and river ice; as well as their interaction with other components of the Earth-climate system.
Studies may use a wide range of methods including field investigations, laboratory experiments, theoretical considerations, numerical modeling or remote sensing. Time scales span from the entire Earth’s history, present-day, to future projections, and spatial scales from local to global. The journal will enable cross-cutting topics advancing the understanding, observation and modeling of the cryosphere. Authors are encouraged to supplement their articles with additional material, such as datasets, meta-data, and code.
Submitting authors should consult the list of Associate Editors below, and select the most appropriate as their preferred handling editor when submitting their manuscript:

Cryospheric Sciences welcomes submissions of the following article types: Correction, Data Report, Editorial, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Protocols, Review and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Cryospheric Sciences, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Cryospheric Sciences will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Earth Science.
