It's amazing that the ESA's CryoSat mission mission has lasted as long as it has. They'll do some remote surgery later this year that will hopefully keep it chugging along for a while yet. In the meantime the science keeps coming. bbc.com/news/science-e… @earth__wave The University of Edinburgh


Earth's glaciers are losing 2% of their ice per decade, disturbing the water supply billions rely on. Tracked by ESA's CryoSat mission at a cost of €0.01 per European citizen per year. Great work Livia Jakob & Noel Gourmelen tinyurl.com/yhk5kacb

😬Almost 40% of glaciers in Central Europe were lost between 2000 and 2023. A new study, using data from various satellite🛰️observations -including ESA's CryoSat mission mission- reveals alarming insights about the declining rate of glaciers. Read the full study🔗


New research using ESA's CryoSat mission data reveals that in 2013, 7 cubic km of freshwater was suddenly released from hidden lakes beneath Thwaites Glacier. The results? Warm ocean water rose Thwaites ice shelf melt and thinned Thwaites glacier got less stable esa.int/Applications/O…
