Cryopediology is any study relating to the behavior of frozen snow. The shapes into which frozen snow is blown by the wind (e.g. on the tundra) are said to be 'cryopediological formations'. The ways in which frozen snow behaves due to factors intrinsic to itself and relating to environments are 'cryopediological processes'.
