Successful test flight at @NASA_Wallops of the Platform Vanilla UAS with the @CReSIS snow radar . Ready for flights over sea ice out of AK in November. Nice takeoff and landing. @DrBrookeMedley ,@Seal4589

Operation #IceBridge is officially over. It passed its NASA Key Decision Point F review today. Excellent presentation by @JoeMacGregor , @DrBrookeMedley , @linetteboisvert And what an accomplishment by so many people @NASA_ICE So proud of the team.

#CRYO2ICE has a brand new site that allows users to visualise the spatial intersections of @esa's #CryoSat and @NASA_ICE's #ICESat2 for a given time window. Since this is a beta version, feedback is appreciated! Explore and let us know what you think👉cryo2ice.org/

The 2021 NASA Research Opportunities in Earth Science are out! For Cryo, we're doing something different this year: Double Anonymous Peer Review. The goal is reduce gender and cognitive biases. Proud to be spearheading this for Earth Science. #EqualityInScience

And still CV, Current&Pending etc. Qualification of proposing team will be a second step of review process. We will have a pre-proposal telecon to provide more guidance at one point.

@AxelSchweiger The problem really is: data have shown that the success rate for proposals with female PIs is lower than those with male PIs. When other disciplines tried double blind proposal reviews the success rates became more even.

Nice article but the facts on ICESat-2 are wrong. It will NOT run out of fuel in 2025! The fuel should last for decades.

The loss of altimeter capability at the highest latitudes later this decade is pretty much a given. The question is over how long the data gap will last. @esa_cryosat @NASA_ICESat2 bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

US grad students and advisors: The final text of the NASA opportunity for grad student fellowships is out: tinyurl.com/y2u3jpru
Deadline is Feb.4. There is a pre-proposal telecom on 11/7.
Would love to see many cryo proposals!!

Correction: the pre-proposal telecon is November 17. Sorry. Wish I could blame auto-correct.

CryoTEMPO-EOLIS products exploit #CryoSat’s SARIn mode and the novel Swath processing technique to deliver increased spatial and temporal coverage of time-dependent elevation over land ice. Last week, the products went live for #Antarctica. Read more👉 earth.esa.int/eogateway/news…

Congrats to a great #WAIS2020. Loved the creative, COVID-adjusted, format and especially the sessions on Diversity and Early Career issues. Very nicely done @MinesGlaciology @icy_simkins @Indrani59031964 @icy_pete @DrBrookeMedley, Knut Christianson
Great NSF-NASA collaboration!

Very nice and informative video of the changing Arctic.

Arctic sea ice reached its second-lowest minimum extent on record on Sept. 15, 2020. This year’s extent was larger only than 2012’s extent. @NASA and @NSIDC track sea ice through the year.

Very nice article on Koni Steffen. Ironically, just last week we were talking about details for next year's field season.

#CRYO2ICE is kicking off in one week!🎉 Once #CryoSat and #ICESat2 will be in sync, their combined data will, among others, allow scientists to measure snow depth from space, improving the accuracy of sea ice thickness measurements and ice-sheet elevation time series🛰️🧊🛰️

This has been in the works for quite a while. So glad it's happening! Thanks @esa_cryosat
@CryoSat, so good for science.

Maybe the first direct evidence of continuous wintertime residual meltwater drainage, thus confirming existence of a wet bed and live subglacial hydrological system year-round for at least some parts of the ice sheet. Nice work, @lincolnpitcher

Excited to see that NASA cryo science is getting attention by our managers.

Last week, @NASA_ICE scientists announced they had discovered that ice sheets in Antarctica & Greenland have lost enough ice per year to raise global sea level by half of an inch a 16-yr span. Want to learn more? Watch #NASAScience Live at 3pm ET today: youtu.be/jQaxUUraV_c

Greenland and Antarctica are losing ice in quantities of gigatons. But how much is a gigaton of ice? Some very nice downloadable animations that visualize it. climate.nasa.gov/news/2933/v…

ESA has a new date for the CryoSat conference. Same place.
10 Mar 2020
📢Save the date! The CryoSat 10th Anniversary Science Conference has been rescheduled to 5 – 8 October 2020 and will be taking place in #Taormina, #Sicily. We will be discussing the latest scientific results from the mission and, of course, celebrating #CryoSat in style🛰🎉
