Editorial: Cryospheric remote sensing
The cryosphere, including ice caps, ice sheets, ice shelves, mountain glaciers, snow cover, permafrost, and sea ice, is a key component of the Earth system. It plays a critical role in response to climate change and serves as a primary source of freshwater (Li et al., 2018; Yao et al., 2022). In rec...
