Sea ice at both the top and bottom of the planet continued its decline in 2024. Antarctic ice coverage shrank to near-historic lows for the 3rd year in a row, reports NASA Earth and National Snow and Ice Data Center. Arctic sea ice reached its maximum extent March 14. go.nasa.gov/4apSeXO

What’s cooler than being cool? 🧊😎 Dr. Linette Boisvert is a sea ice scientist at NASA Goddard. For about a decade, she spent weeks taking airborne measurements over the Arctic and Antarctic with Operation Icebridge. #WHM Learn about her adventure: go.nasa.gov/3IVgPrW

Sunburns, squeaks, and sea ice - oh my! 🌊 🧊 NASA Goddard Research Scientist Dr. Rachel Tilling shares her story at sea (ice), where she and her team take measurements to compare with satellite data. #WHM Listen: go.nasa.gov/3vumMc9

Spring is here, flowers are blissfully in bloom, and so are abstract submissions for the #Cryo2ice symposium! We want work on #CryoSat, #ICESat2, or both 😉 ⌛️ Deadline is 🔟 May Get on it! Can't wait to see you there, with ESA Earth Observation & NASA Ice 🤩 ℹ️👉cryo2ice-symposium.org/abstract-submi…

It’s almost #EarthDay! 🌎🥳 Here’s everything you need to know👇 Celebrate at @nasa HQ in DC: go.nasa.gov/3U2xkaC Plan your own Earth Day with activities, demos, #CitizenScience & more: go.nasa.gov/4aBz3uB Learn how @nasa studies our planet: go.nasa.gov/49Ck95V

This #EarthDay, share a favorite place on our home planet with a #GlobalSelfie! Here's the shadow of an #IceBridge flight over sea ice on the Chukchi Sea a few years back, surrounded by a rainbow-like atmospheric phenomenon called a glory. 📷: J. Harbeck/NASA

Interested in how #ICESat2 data is put to work? The mission's applications workshop is designed to bring together developers, satellite operators, decision makers, & other data users. More information & registration for the June event here: icesat-2.gsfc.nasa.gov/events

ICESat-2 is the 3rd in a series of NASA missions providing continuous polar observations over time. Data can be used to monitor changes in sea ice thickness, detect icebergs and forecast their path and more. Image: NASA SVS ➡️Get data at #NSIDCDAAC: nsidc.org/data/icesat-2

🧊 How do giant icebergs break away from ice shelves in Antarctica? And could this accelerate in a potentially unstoppable cycle? Researchers used computer modeling, satellite observations and other data to take a closer look at melting ice shelves. go.nasa.gov/44PcdO3

LIVE: Hear from experts as we discuss the agency's PREFIRE mission, which will study heat loss from Earth's polar regions and provide information on our changing climate. The first of two small satellites is set to launch NET Wednesday, May 22. bit.ly/4bv3Byi

🚀 #PREFIREandIce in T-12 hours! The second CubeSat of NASA’s PREFIRE mission to study energy loss at Earth’s poles is targeted for liftoff on Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket NET 3:00 p.m. NZST on June 1, (11:00 p.m. EDT on May 31). 🛰 science.nasa.gov/mission/prefir…

Twice as n(ice)! Two NASA planes are flying over the Arctic Ocean this summer. Wallops’ P-3 Orion & NASA Langley Research Center’s Gulfstream III are teaming up in a mission called ARCSIX to study how sea ice is affected by clouds, particles in the atmosphere, and more. go.nasa.gov/3KqtKCS

The Arctic Radiation Cloud Aerosol Surface Interaction Experiment, or ARCSIX, is one of NASA's many efforts to better understand Earth’s changing climate. Arctic sea ice helps regulate the world’s temperature, from Virginia all the way to Greenland, where NASA scientists are

After solar storms in May caused ICESat-2 to go into a safe hold, the satellite is scheduled to resume collecting data around June 17. More info: go.nasa.gov/3yXrKzz

NASA’s global temperature data goes back to 1880, but how do scientists know about Earth’s temperature before then? The stories of Earth’s past climate are told by rocks, sediments, fossils, ice cores, lake beds and more. Go back in time and explore: go.nasa.gov/3ziCRTC

DYK that penguins can be spotted beyond Antarctica, as far away as the Galápagos Islands and ... distant galaxies?!? 🌌🐧👀 Congratulations to our friends NASA Webb Telescope for two years of spectacular science.

Happy birthday #Cryo2ice! Our collaboration with NASA Ice's #ICESat2 is 4 years old today, and this next year is a big one. The orbits of CryoSat & ICESat2 will come closer than ever this winter, providing an incredible opportunity for researchers 🤩 earth.esa.int/eogateway/miss…

Fly along with NASA's ARCSIX field campaign, as scientists study changing sea ice and atmospheric conditions in the Arctic, north of Greenland. ✈️🌊🧊 The second leg of the campaign began this week: nasa.gov/earth/nasa-ret…
