OpenAltimetry

The all new @NASAEarthData OpenAltimetry web application with the latest version 6 ICESat-2 data products is now available at openaltimetry.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov #icesat2

Data from NASA’s Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (#ICESat) are now available in OpenAltimetry. Learn more about OpenAltimetry and how you can use it to work with ICESat and ICESat-2 data: go.nasa.gov/46dgN8G

Visualizing and exploring surface elevation data just got easier. Learn more about the first phased release of OpenAltimetry, a cyberinfrastructure platform for working with these data: go.nasa.gov/46dgN8G #NSIDCDAAC @NSIDC @NASA_ICE

📢Carlos Silva (@Web_LiDAR) is presenting on how to combine ICESat-2, SAR, and passive optical data for monitoring #post-hurricane recovery in #Southern #Forests. 🌀🌳 @silvalabUF @SFFGS @UFCALS #NASA ICESat-2 Science Team Meeting - La Jolla, CA.

📢 Check it out! Sorin Popescu just dropped a fantastic new canopy height map covering the entire CONUS using ICESat-2 data! 🌳 Explore it here: lasers.tamu.edu/ice-cloudand-l… #NASA ICESat-2 Science Team Meeting - La Jolla, CA.

📢Amy Neuenschwander (@longhornglam) shared her cool research about mapping biomass in the boreal region using ICESat-2 data! #NASA ICESat-2 Science Team Meeting - La Jolla, CA.

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.nasa.gov

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 👇🏼👇🏼

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... 📽️

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/G9V123…. @GEDI_Knights

The new OpenAltimetry application operated by @NSIDC will offer access to ICESat-2 data in early October. Access to #ICESat/GLAS data in early November. ICESat/GLAS data access will be interrupted until early November 2023.

📢 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.

The Polar Geospatial Center’s (@polargeospatial) ArcticDEM & Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) data are now available on OpenTopography! Apply OT's value-added tools for access, processing, & visualization to these polar regions elevation data opentopography.org/news/arcticdem…

We've temporarily lifted the academic user restriction on OpenTopography access to five NOAA coastal #lidar datasets covering Maui, Hawaii to support rescue and recovery following the recent devastating wildfires: portal.opentopography.org/datasets?minX=…

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.

Using NASA data, students can perform research by comparing GLOBE citizen science tree height data to height data from ICESat-2. For more information, check out this interactive tutorial on Open Altimetry by NSIDC's Amy FitzGerrell: bit.ly/3K2pgSu

Return of the #GEDI! The future is bright for the mission and for ongoing work to understand #climatechange, #deforestation, and other crucial issues. Thanks @pgreenfielduk for your work and support! theguardian.com/environment/20…
