ABSTRACTIt is critical to understand the mechanisms and impacts of global climate change in cryosphere and polar environment. Here we describe the design and progress of the remote sensing products we have developed to monitor these changes. We obtain datasets by combining multi-sensor remote sensing systems with field validation systems, and then develop a methodological system that combines multiple sources and calibration technologies to address the challenges of data heterogeneity in dynamically monitoring key parameters. This global change and response special project supported by the National Key Research and Development Program of China, named ‘observation and inversion of critical parameters of changes in the cryosphere and polar environment’, providing comprehensive records of essential elements of the cryosphere through long-term satellite records. The multi-team is completing the project and collecting data from multi-sensor to create remote sensing data products that include records of changes in the cryosphere, such as permafrost, glaciers, ice sheet mass balance, seasonal snow accumulation, sea ice, and albedo changes. Finally, the existing ground- and space-based observing system can be improved to provide dynamic monitoring of key parameters in the cryosphere and changes in the polar environment.
