Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cryosphere, comprising snow, river and lake ice, sea ice, glaciers, ice shelves and ice sheets, and frozen ground, plays a major role in the Earth's climate system through its impact on the surface energy budget, the water cycle, primary productivity, surface gas exchange and sea level. Therefore, the cryosphere is a fundamental control on the natural sciences, engineering sciences and social sciences. Because a lot of human live in the cold regions, ice is part of their life. With climate changes, the impact and adaptation from cryosphere elements become urgent, and ice as well as ice engineering are point events. Therefore, understanding the properties of ice/snow behaviours, and their actions and applications in hydrology, ecology and engineering are useful for Earth Sciences, Engineering Sciences and Social Sciences in cold regions.
This special issue will cover ice/snow physical, thermal, mechanical, optical, and electrical properties and their applications in differnent fields,. The scope will also include the theoretical studies and practice applications in remote sensing, investigation, experiments and numerical modellings in cold regions snow/ice forming and melting processes, contributions in ecosystem, behaviours in engineering and entertainment. The other topics closely related to this issue are also welcome. We will invate the famous scientists to contribute the leading level reviews and papers, and hope their contribution can guide future ice science and engineering in polar and sub-polar regions under climate changes, can guide the research directions of young scholars and students.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
