The cryosphere refers to all parts of the Earth’s system where water exists in a frozen state, including glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice, snow cover, permafrost, and frozen lakes and rivers. It plays a crucial role in regulating the climate system through its interactions with the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and hydrological cycle. In hydrology and water resources, the cryosphere is considered an important natural reservoir that influences water availability, river flow patterns, and global climate processes. One of the most significant roles of the cryosphere is its influence on Earth’s energy balance through the albedo effect. Snow and ice surfaces reflect a large proportion of incoming solar radiation back into space, reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the Earth. This cooling effect helps maintain global temperature stability. When rising temperatures cause snow and ice to melt, darker
