Laboratory of Cryospheric Sciences
LaboratoryThe Laboratory of Cryospheric Sciences (CRYOS) at EPFL focuses on investigating the processes shaping snow and ice in mountain and polar regions. Research areas include snow cover processes, snow-atmosphere interactions, mountain hydrology, and risk management in renewable energy production. CRYOS also hosts the Environmental Sensing Observatory (ESO) for developing methods in aerial sensing and sensor fusion. Projects like 'From Cloud to Ground' and 'SCASI' study snow accumulation in extreme environments and the impact of snow cover on Antarctic sea ice, respectively. Additionally, CRYOS conducts research on the role of photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy in the Swiss energy transition.
