  1. Arctic Winter Sea Ice Ties Record Low, NASA, NSIDC Scientists Find

    For the second consecutive year, winter sea ice in the Arctic reached a level that matches the lowest…

  2. 🔚 Fin du #CALIPSO Symposium sur les lidars spatiaux ! Cet événement a mis en lumière la valeur des lidars spatiaux et leur synergie avec d'autres observations pour comprendre climat, météo et qualité de l'air. #ICESAT #AEOLUS #EarthCare 🚀

  3. I am very happy to announce DeltaDTM, a cutting-edge global coastal Digital Terrain Model (DTM) made by @deltares which was just published in Nature Scientific Data nature.com/articles/s41597-024. Other coastal elevation models are often based on older data, or commercial in nature. DeltaDTM is the most accurate thus far, and free for everyone (CC-BY licensed). This publication is the first paper of my PhD research on creating better global elevation models using -2 and data.

  4. Check out our newly published paper about sea ice–atmosphere drag coefficients from #ICESat-2 laser altimeter topography data, the first monthly pan-Arctic assessment of its kind. #AC3TR @CRiceS_H2020 ➡️ tc.copernicus.org/articles/17/

  5. Accidental recording of #Lidar LASER flashes from #ICESat with a sensitive #VideoCamera looking for meteors in Japan - probably a first: youtube.com/watch?v=IXD8wLn7PX <- NASA Satellite’s Elusive Green Lasers Spotted at Work: nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/

  6. The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan has said that NASA believes the bright green lasers were likely from a Chinese satellite.

  7. #ICESat-2 does more than measure polar ice. It also makes detailed observations of elevation in tropical and temperate latitudes. This is what the #satellite observed as it passed over a forested hillside in #Mexico. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/imag #NASA
