ICESat-2 Video Program

NASA ICE was live.
August 22 at 11:30 AM · ·
NASA is about to launch a space laser that will circle the Earth to measure ice. Firing 5,000 laser pulses in the blink of an eye, the upcoming ICESat-2 satellite will give us a precise and detailed look at how Earth's ice is changing.
Scheduled to launch no earlier than Sept. 15, 2018, ICESat-2's technological leap forward is a response to the demanding science questions posed by what’s happening in Earth's frozen regions. We know sea level is rising and ice sheets are melting -- but we need to know how much melt is happening, and where it is occuring. We know sea ice in the Arctic ice is rapidly diminishing in area -- but without the height data from ICESat-2 we can't directly measure how the thickness of the ice cap is changing. This information is vital to improving predictions of how the Arctic will change and what that will mean for climate and weather globally.

Join us at 2:30 pm EDT on August 22 to learn more about NASA's first dedicated ice mission in 15 years, and why we need it right now.

Joining us for this LIVE Q&A are:
* NASA Astrophysicist & Host: Michelle Thaller
* NASA Cryospheric Sciences program scientist: Tom Wagner
* NASA ATLAS instrument project manager: Donya Douglas-Bradshaw
* NASA sea ice scientist: Melinda Webster
* NASA ICESat-2 deputy project scientist: Tom Neumann
* NASA ICESat-2 science team member: Kelly Brunt
