The NASA ICESat mission's primary goal was to measure ice sheet mass balance: the difference between an ice sheet's snow input, and the ice loss through melting, ablation, or calving. Learn more and get data: nsidc.org/data/icesat

On April 16, NASA NSIDC DAAC scientist Walt Meier spoke at his lunch series: “Everything you wanted to know about passive microwaves (PM) (but were afraid to ask).” Meier described how PM "sees" sea ice in the dark and through clouds. youtu.be/dkuW82zT0QI

Curtis Rattray created a digital atlas of Tahltan land and culture with the Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA), a program at NSIDC. The interactive map allows communities and especially youth to learn ancestral knowledge. bit.ly/4dbcWNU

NSIDC's roots go back to 1957 when a World Data Center for Glaciology was established to archive all available glaciological information. The organization that we today call NSIDC started to take form in 1976. Learn more about our history: nsidc.org/about/about-nsidc/…

For most of April, Arctic sea ice changed very little until month's end when extent dropped. Still, April tied for ninth lowest extent in the satellite record. Antarctic sea ice extent remained fickle, tracking 2024, but well above the record low in 2023. bit.ly/4lZCRw1
