Scientists Identify 85 New Active Subglacial Lakes in Antarctica
Using CryoSat-2 data (2010-2020), researchers found 85 new active subglacial lakes in Antarctica, raising the known total to 231. The study was published Sep 19 2025. Read more: getnews.me/scientists-identify-85-n... #antarctica #cryosat2 #subglacial
CryoSat-2 (Oceánografie 🌊)
CryoSat-2 je sonda Evropské kosmické agentury určená k výzkumu životního prostředí. Odstartovala v roce 2010. Poskytuje vědcům údaje o polárních ledovcích a sleduje změnu tloušťky ledu s přesností až 1,3 centimetru. CryoSat-2 byl […]

We’re now celebrating 15 (!) years of #cryosat2 with 80000 orbits around the Earth and counting. We’re hoping for at least another 3 years of amazing data. @esa.int @cpom-uk.bsky.social
A cool video showing the amazing synergies than can be achieved when using #CryoSat2 and #ICESat2 together www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4Cb...
L'8 aprile 2010 veniva lanciata la prima missione europea dedicata allo studio del ghiaccio e dell'acqua della Terra, #CyroSat2 .
Ancora in funzione 15 anni dopo!
Felice anniversario di lancio #CryoSat2

ESA's CryoSat mission provides data to determine the precise rate of change in the thickness of the polar ice sheets and floating sea ice. It is capable of detecting changes as little as 1 cm per year. The information from CryoSat is leading to a better understanding of how the volume of ice on Earth is changing and, in turn, a better appreciation of how ice and climate are linked.

Still operational 15 years later! 👏
Happy launch anniversary #CryoSat2! 🎉
