Demonstrate the return on investment of agency funding and interagency coordination of US CLIVAR research. (Chaps 8 and 10). Main Points:. • . Small cyclic variations in the earth’s orbital characteristics affect the distribution of solar radiation on earth that, in turn, initiate the advance and retreat of ice sheets over the last 1M years..

Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University, Sweden. 2. Department of Geological Sciences, Stockholm University, Sweden. The three components of the cryosphere – glaciers, snow and permafrost – are all affected by climate change.. Glaciers of Central Asia are essentially natural reservoirs that accumulate and store water from winter and spring precipitation and release it in summer, when rainfall is low and water demand is high. In the face of ongoing climate change, the challenges related to water management and disaster risk reduction may recur and persist. .
