Water Level Change of Qinghai Lake from ICESat and ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry
Remote Sensing, 2022 Long-term satellite observations of the water levels of lakes are crucial to our understanding of lake hydrological basin systems. The Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation satellite (ICESat) and ICESat-2 were employed to monitor the water level of Qinghai Lake

Synthesis of the ICESat/ICESat-2 and CryoSat-2 observations to reconstruct time series of lake level
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2023 Synthesis of multi-satellite altimetry facilitates the acquisition of long-term changes in lake level but may induce biases due to inconsistent data sources, and thus remains largely unexplored.

Estimating Terrain Slope from ICESat-2 Data in Forest Environments
Remote Sensing, 2020 The global digital elevation measurement (DEM) products such as SRTM DEM and GDEM have been widely used for terrain slope retrieval in forests. However, the slope estimation accuracy is generally limited due to the DEMs’ low vertical accuracy over ...

Quantifying Surface‐Height Change Over a Periglacial Environment With ICESat‐2 Laser Altimetry [PDF]
Earth and Space Science, 2021 We use Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat‐2) laser altimetry crossovers and repeat tracks collected over the North Slope of Alaska to estimate ground surface‐height change due to the seasonal freezing and thawing of the active layer.

Comparing elevation and backscatter retrievals from CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 over Arctic summer sea ice [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 The CryoSat-2 radar altimeter and ICESat-2 laser altimeter can provide complementary measurements of the freeboard and thickness of Arctic sea ice. However, both sensors face significant challenges for accurately measuring the ice freeboard when the sea ...

Consolidating ICESat-2 Ocean Wave Characteristics with CryoSat-2 during the CRYO2ICE Campaign
Remote Sensing, 2022 Using the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat-2) global high-resolution elevation measurements, it is possible to distinguish individual surface ocean waves. With the vast majority of ocean surveying missions using radar satellites, ICESat-

Potentialities and Limits of ICESAT-2 Observation for Atmospheric Aerosol Investigation
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016 ICESat-2(Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2), slated for launch in 2017, will continue the important observations of ice-sheet elevation change, sea-ice freeboard, and vegetation canopy height begun by ICESat in 2003.
