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.
Unfortunately, this isn't the only bummer news we have. The contest is taking a pause this year. But thanks to dedicated Peeps diorama extraordinaire, Amy Free, here is a Peeps video to sweeten the blow. Lunar New Year! https://t.co/DDoEA4iEjC
Before we put lasers to work measuring Earth’s ice from orbit, we sent them to Mars.
In a new video series starting next week, we’ll show you how @NASAGoddard scientists and engineers have developed lidar instruments to map our world and beyond.
NASA Earth Observatory has an opening for a data-driven science writer. This job won’t stay open for long. Apply here: https://t.co/hVdowKTqgX #scicomm#dataviz#climatejournalism 🌏🛰️
What's scarier than terror-bytes of data to download? 🗻👻
This #ICESat2 view of Mount Terror in Antarctica! Join Dr. Tom Neumann on a bone-chilling tour of the Ross Island shield volcano for a #PhotonPhriday treat.
@KendraWrites Not sure I have figured out how to describe just how disconcerting and isolating it was to be quarantined so far from home in such a bizarre place. Always grateful to you & @rachel_tilling and @marco_bagnardi & the foxes for keeping me sane.
@KendraWrites Ugh I’m so sorry Kendra, that sucks. I’m sure you’ll do something awesome next, but enjoying waffles for a while sounds like a solid plan.
@EleanorPie@LilyMcCaulou @rachael_scar Hee! I’m also feeling sentimental about Bend cause I’m going to see the Decemberists tomorrow, which I’m pretty sure was my last Les Schwab amphitheater show!
Turquoise melt ponds sparkled like gems on the Arctic sea ice, as the #ICESat2 airborne campaign measured their depths from above.
When the plane landed, your Greenland correspondent discovered there are treasures on land, as well.

Landsat’s been taking Earth selfies for 50 years 📸 🛰
For half a century, #Landsat satellites have documented changes on Earth, revealing patterns, cycles, & trends of our environment. Here’s some of what we’ve seen and learned about our home – a thread 🧵
Field experiments are all about going with the floe. 🧊
Join @NASA_ICE scientists on a flight over the Arctic Ocean to measure the height of the ice, snow, melt ponds and open ocean below.
