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.

ICESat-2 Early Mission Synopsis and Observatory Performance. [PDF]
Earth Space Sci, 2021 Abstract The Advanced Topographic Laser Altimetry System (ATLAS) onboard the NASA Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite‐2 (ICESat‐2) is the newest Earth observing satellite for global elevation studies. The primary objectives for ICESat‐2 follow the objectives of its predecessor, ICESat and also focus on providing cryospheric ...

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.

Canopy and Terrain Height Retrievals with ICESat-2: A First Look [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2019 NASA’s Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) launched in fall 2018 and has since collected continuous elevation data over the Earth’s surface. The primary scientific objective is to measure the cryosphere for studies related to land ice and sea ice characteristics.
