Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have transitioned from an experimental tool into sophisticated sensing platforms capable of measuring a range of environmental parameters across the cryosphere. UAV’s inherent strengths include relatively low costs, rapid repeat survey intervals, customizable payloads and ability to bridge the scaling challenges between point-based field measurements and coarser resolution measurements from air and space. The rapid integration of UAVs into cryospheric research has facilitated both the development of new research techniques and the advancement of cryospheric sciences (seasonal snow, glaciers, sea ice and ice sheets). This session aims at bringing together the research community who are interested in new techniques, and opportunities that leverage UAVs for cryospheric research. We welcome submissions that advance our scientific understanding of the cryosphere and are transferable between cryospheric disciplines, including new sensors and configurations, analysis methods, model integration or validation, scaling applications, platform development and applications in remote or extreme environments.
