In the golden age of satellite altimetry, we're approaching a golden moment 🌟 In Feb 2025, the orbits of ESA Earth Observation's #CryoSat and @NASA_Ice's #ICESat2 will be almost simultaneous 🤩 Just one reason to be excited about next week's #Cryo2ice symposium! 👉earth.esa.int/eogateway/succ…




Are you interested in what exactly #CryoScientists do with #PolarObservations? Thanks to ESA's CryoSat mission here's the answer:

"CryoSat has revolutionised how we measure our planet's cryosphere" Tommaso Parrinello opens the session on mission status with a look at our super CryoSat mission!


Tommaso Parrinello ARCHIVED - NASA Ice ESA Operations Javier Sanchez now of ESA Operations tells us about the manoeuvring of CryoSat to align with ICESat-2 over the poles. We started in the Arctic configuration in 2020, switched to Antarctica in 2022, and switch back to the Arctic in 2025. A fascinating look at how you manoeuvre a


Tommaso Parrinello ARCHIVED - NASA Ice ESA Operations "The time difference between the measurements is decreasing" Jan 21 next year we should have quasi-synchronous measurements 🤩

Tommaso Parrinello ARCHIVED - NASA Ice ESA Operations Denis Felikson NSIDC DAAC ESA Earth Observation Alessandro Di Bella (@[email protected]) Thanks to all our chairs and speakers!! Lunch time


And the future, you ask? What's up next for #PolarAltimetry? It's exciting! We're busy planning for the upcoming European Space Agency #CRISTAL mission, due for launch in 2027/2028. #Cryo2Ice Symposium 2024.


What a venue! What an event! #Cryo2ice is almost over, but not quite yet. Time now to summarise this incredible "family reunion" of our milk and cookies, CryoSat and ICESat-2. We're about to hear from all our chairs, before a wrap up from Tommaso Parrinello & Thorsten Markus


Alessandro Di Bella (@[email protected]) @helenafricker Henriette Skourup Dr Sinead L Farrell And thanks to this golden team, Matteo, Francesca, Chiara and Kimberly (not here unfortunately!), for putting on a wonderful event. Let's do another one! 🤝😎



Big news in the world of ice! On 6 February 2025, the observations of ESA Earth Observation's CryoSat and ARCHIVED - NASA Ice's ICESat-2 satellites will align almost perfectly with each other, providing the best opportunity yet to measure sea ice, snow & polar ocean currents from space 🧊❄️🌊 📽️🎧

Sea ice is fading. But how much? Although different products agree that sea ice is changing, there is little consensus about precisely how much. Researchers are invited to delve into a treasure trove of satellite data, including those of ESA Earth Observation's CryoSat mission, to agree a



15 years monitoring Earth's cryosphere, oceans, rivers, lakes...and much more! Thank you, ESA's CryoSat mission for enabling amazing discoveries!!! 🩵🧊🛰️✨🎊
