A cryospheric focal point for NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. NASA's Aqua Satellite Launched NASA's Aqua satellite successfully launched on 4 May 2002. The Aqua mission will collect information about the Earth's water cycle. Sea ice and snow albedo data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument will be available from NSIDC in late summer 2002. NSIDC will also ...

Remote Sensing of the Great Lakes Cryosphere This page is a collection of links to topics relating to remote sensing of ice and snow phenomena (the cryosphere) in the Great Lakes region, primarily around and on Lake Superior. These pages are part of Drew Pilant's research group's activities. Point of contact: Drew Pilant anpilant@mtu.edu Images of Extensive Great Lakes Ice Cover from AVHRR Radar ...

My activities concentrate on the numerical modeling of ice and climate interactions. I am mainly working on 3-D thermomechanical models, which are used to simulate the ice sheets of Antarctica, Greenland, and those that covered the northern hemisphere continents during the ice ages, on time scales ranging from Tertiary ice-sheet inception to glacial-interglacial cycles and future anthropogenic ...

In winter, the Sea of Okhotsk is generally almost entirely covered with sea ice from late November to late May. Even in the southernmost part of the sea, along the northeastern sea coast of Hokkaido, the sea in general starts to freeze at early January and is covered with sea ice till late March. In the coastal regions off Hokkaido unstable ice pack found were, some consisting of drift ice from ...

Few countries in the world are as drastically affected by their frozen regions, or cryosphere, as Canada is.

The Arctic Sea Ice Is Melting--How Long Will It Last This page was last revised on May 25, 2000. There has been a lot of press lately about icebergs breaking off Antarctica's ice shelves and the effects this will have on sea levels around the world. There has been much less press about a potentially more significant change in polar ice near the other pole, where Arctic Ocean sea ice is rapidly ...
