Substantial and rapid environment changes request methods which could manage a huge
information flow, optimize the processes of data acquisition, data storage, data analysis and
exchange. Such facilities could be given by GIS technologies. Digital data bases serve as a key
component of GIS methods. We present the system of cryo data management, developed in the
Institute of Geography RAS. The system provides cryo data access, generates an environment for
scientific problem solving, gives opportunity to use GIS techniques for cryo data analysis.
Digital Atlas “Snow and Ice on the Earth” is a base structure which arranges cryo knowledge and
cryo data on global and regional levels. Thematic and regional data bases make it possible to
create GIS models and to analyze interrelations, status and dynamics of cryo systems
components. The system of links provides an access to distributed cryo info resources, which is a
key for coordination research.
