Polar ecosystems – both in the Arctic and the Antarctic – are highly sensitive to climate change and human activity. They could play a major role for Earth’s future by regulating sea levels and the weather patterns in the lower latitudes. Swiss scientists have conducted research on glaciology in the Arctic since the 19th century, making a substantial contribution to global climate research. A number of Swiss universities are internationally renowned for their research on snow, glaciers, permafrost, ocean chemistry and atmosphere dynamics.
