Monitoring Earth from Space
Satellite altimetry systems keep an eye on Earth’s environment from space, monitoring changes in the heights of ice sheets, glaciers, and forest canopies to record the effects of a changing climate.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Collaboration with UT Austin
The efforts in research and development associated with ICESat-2 at UT Austin support a broad range of technical applications and analysis.
The team has been involved since 2014 in the mission concept development and implementation studies. We have worked on the airborne simulator for ICESat-2 and designed critical validation strategies to ensure the data quality once on-orbit.
