ICESat-2 for Fluvial Geomorphology
ICESat-2, a space-borne altimeter launched by NASA in 2018, has the ability to resolve the ground at sub-meter resolution. Using novel filtering techniques and data I/O, we are able to visualize bare-ground transects of heavily vegetated terrain. This presentation was given during the 2022 ESIP January meeting held virtually in January 2022.

Monitoring Coastal Waves with ICESat-2
The coastal zone faces an ever-growing risk associated with climate-driven change, including sea level rise and increased frequency of extreme natural hazards. Often the location and dynamism of coastal regions makes them a formidable environment to adequately study with in-situ methods.

Assessment of ICESat-2 for the recovery of ocean topography [PDF]
SUMMARYThe Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat-2) laser altimetry mission, launched in September 2018, uses six parallel lidar tracks with very fine along-track resolution (15 m) to measure the topography of ice, land and ocean surfaces.

When carrying out SDB (satellite-derived bathymetry) in island area based on ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2) data, it is often found that the ICESat-2 bathymetric signals are partially missing due to the influence of thick aerosols ...

Estimating Terrain Slope from ICESat-2 Data in Forest Environments
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 ...

ICESat-2 Applications for Investigating Emerging Volcanoes [PDF]
Submarine volcanism in shallow waters (<100 m), particularly in remote settings, is difficult to monitor quantitatively and, in the rare formation of islands, it is challenging to understand the rapid-paced erosion. However, these newly erupted volcanic islands become observable to airborne and/or satellite remote sensing instruments.

Comparing elevation and backscatter retrievals from CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 over Arctic summer sea ice [PDF]
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 ...

icepyx: querying, obtaining, analyzing, and manipulating ICESat-2 datasets
icepyx is both a software library and a community composed of ICESat-2 (NASA satellite) data users, developers, maintainers, and the scientific community. We are working together to develop a shared library of resources - including existing resources, new code, tutorials, and use-cases/examples - that simplify the process of querying, obtaining ...

Consolidating ICESat-2 Ocean Wave Characteristics with CryoSat-2 during the CRYO2ICE Campaign
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-
