📢Introducing our #ICESat-2 Vegetation Team #Twitter account! Follow us for exciting #ICEsat-2 science and vegetation applications updates. xitter.cf/ICESat2Veg
ICYMI - OpenAltimetry is moving to @NSIDC DAAC as a @NASAEarth science application starting in Oct 2023. Look for #ICESat2 access in early October and ICESat/GLAS access in November 2023. New location will be openaltimetry.earthdatacloud…

Excited to see the first paper of my PhD published today! (does this make me a real scientist now? 🥹)
We used ICESat-2 to measure up to 15 km (!) tidal grounding line migration on the Ronne Ice Shelf, and found 4 different modes of migration! Check it out here 👇🏼👇🏼 – at Minnesota, USA

Happy 5th anniversary to #ICESat2!
🥳🛰️🎉
Since its 2018 launch, ICESat-2's height-measuring laser has fired more than 1,500 trillion photons, all to precisely track changes in Earth's ice, water, forests and land.
But the story of ICESat-2 started long before... 📽️
📢 OpenAltimetry is moving to @NSIDC DAAC as a @NASAEarth science application! The NSIDC DAAC will take on maintenance and support starting in October 2023. Look for ICESat-2 access in early October and ICESat/GLAS access in November 2023.
GEDI data prototype will no longer be available through OpenAltimetry after early October 2023. Users can access #GEDI L2 data via @OpenTopography at doi.org/10.5069/G9V12301. @GEDI_Knights

Congrats to the 2023 OPA Recipients @NSIDC Cloud Migration Team for addressing the #bigdata challenge with @NASA #ICESat2 data – an Earth observing mission which produces 1 TB of data a day– by making it publicly available in the NASA Earthdata #Cloud.
Congrats to all the 2023 CIRES Outstanding Performance Award winners! CIRES OPAs highlight projects or work that are novel, high impact and show remarkable creativity or resourcefulness. @NOAA_ESRL @CUBoulder @NOAANCEI @NWSSWPC @NSIDC @WeAreWaterSW @CiresEO
