Glaciology is the study of
glaciers, or more generally
ice and natural phenomena that involve ice. The word glacier is derived from the
Latin glaciees, meaning ice or frost. Glaciology is an interdisciplinary
earth science that integrates
geophysics,
geology,
physical geography,
geomorphology,
climatology,
meteorology,
hydrology,
biology, and
ecology. The impact of glaciers on humans adds the fields of
human geography and
anthropology. The presence of ice on
Mars and
Europa brings in an extraterrestrial component to the field.
