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... 📽️

Are you ready for some PHOTONS?!? It's time for a special phootball edition of #PhotonPhriday! #ICESat2 completed a pass over the #SuperBowl stadium in Arizona in 2020, receiving a profile of the retractable roof's dome.

Did somebody say lasers in space? From maps of Mars to terrestrial tree height, laser ranging — lidar — has opened new doors for what we can measure from space. In a new video series, we’re exploring how lidar developed from an exciting idea to a tool in our scientific toolbox.

Very excited (and somewhat terrified) to give my first #AGU22 talk tomorrow at 17:55! We use Sentinel-1 InSAR, ICESat-2 laser altimetry, and VHR Pléiades DEMs to image rapid #subsidence in Tehran. Come along and let me know any thoughts or questions on this work 🛰 – at Chicago, IL
