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 ...

Mass Loss of Greenland and Antarctic Peripheral Glaciers From ICESat and ICESat‐2 [PDF]
Abstract Greenland and Antarctica's peripheral glaciers are an important but often overlooked element in the global sea‐level rise budget. Here, we use satellite laser altimetry from ICESat and ICESat‐2 to assess the mass loss from Greenland's and Antarctica's peripheral glaciers for three periods: February 2003 ...

ICE SHEET ELEVATION MAPPING AND CHANGE DETECTION WITH THE ICE, CLOUD AND LAND ELEVATION SATELLITE-2 [PDF]
On September 15, 2018, ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation satellite) was successfully launched to measure ice sheet and glacier elevation change, sea ice freeboard, and vegetation.

The ALOS/AVNIR-2 satellite data (2007–2010) allowed estimating areas of glaciers, change in the areas for 50 years, and the number and areas of new naturally-dammed lakes in the mountain regions of Uzbekistan. Boundaries of these gla‑ ciers together with

The Relevance of GLAS/ICESat Elevation Data for the Monitoring of River Networks
The Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) laser altimetry mission from 2003 to 2008 provided an important dataset for elevation measurements.

ICESat sea level comparisons [PDF]
ICESat calculations of sea level and mesoscale variability are demonstrated and compared to calculations from TOPEX altimetry. In particular, we examine the accuracy of the ICESat Laser 2a Release 21 GLA15 ocean elevations. A global ICESat ocean elevation bias of −10.0 ± 1.0 cm (low) was found with respect to TOPEX, obtained with a reference mean sea ...

Leaf area index retrieval with ICESat-2 photon counting LiDAR
This is the first study to inverse leaf area index (LAI) with photon counting LiDAR (i.e., Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2/Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System, ICESat-2/ATLAS). A new framework composed of three major steps was applied:

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.
