NASA currently has more than a dozen Earth science spacecraft / instruments in orbit studying all aspects of the Earth system ( oceans, land, atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere ), with several more planned for launch in the next few years.

The programme promotes the sustained provision and availability of reliable physical, chemical and biological observations and data records for the total climate system-across the atmospheric, oceanic and terrestrial domains, including the Hydrological cycle, the Carbon cycle and the Cryosphere.

During the ice ages of the Pleistocene, a clear correlation existed between marine regressions and episodes of glaciation; as the balance shifts between the global cryosphere and hydrosphere, more of the planet's water in ice sheets means less in the oceans.

The "'Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System "'( CSDMS ) deals with the Earth's surface and the observable and projected changes constantly taking place-the ever-changing dynamic interface between lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere and atmosphere.

At the Biosphere's Exam Center, Samus and the 07th Platoon learn that the ship's director, Dr . Madeline Bergman, had conducted research on illegal bioweapons for the Federation . though is quickly directed to the Cryosphere to find any survivors.

WCRP activities address issues of scientific uncertainty in the Earth's climate system including transport and storage of heat by the ocean, the global energy and hydrological cycle, the formation of clouds and their effects on radiative transfer, and the role of the cryosphere in climate.

Accordingly, cryospheric sciences is an umbrella term for the study of the cryosphere ( not unlike atmospheric sciences, encompassing meteorology, climatology, and aeronomy ); as an interdisciplinary Earth science, many disciplines contribute to it, most notably geology, hydrology, and meteorology and climatology; in this sense, it is comparable to glaciology.

Some, like Dr . Richard S . Lindzen, a meteorologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have built durable counterarguments, saying the links connecting the earth's oceans, air and " cryosphere, " its frozen places, are impossible to elucidate with sufficient confidence to predict much beyond next week's weather.

Members of the Reservoirs and Fluxes Community are conducting research as a part of the Deep Earth Carbon Degassing Project to make tangible advances towards quantifying the amount of carbon outgassed from the Earth s deep interior ( core, mantle, crust ) into the surface environment ( e . g . biosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere ) through naturally occurring processes.
