Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on cold environments, including alpine, Arctic, and Antarctic regions. Studies focus on environmental processes such as climate change impacts on snow cover, glaciers, and permafrost, as well as biogeochemical cycles, soil organic carbon, and water resources. Research also investigates the ecology of these regions, including plant-microbe interactions, animal habitats, and microbial communities in various ecosystems like wetlands, glaciers, and lakes. Paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental reconstructions are also featured.
