NASA's ICESat-2 Looks Beyond the Icy Poles

The video tutorial covers the mapping of underwater topography using reflective limestone deposits, the role of vegetation like Mopani and Acacia in carbon storage, and the monitoring of glaciers using I Sat 2. It highlights the importance of understanding carbon uptake in neglected ecosystems and the impact of climate change on glacier dynamics, including thinning and slowing down.

What is the significance of measuring underwater topography?

How does the presence of limestone affect the measurements taken beneath the water surface?

What role do shrub Mopani and Acacia trees play in understanding carbon storage?

Why are some ecosystems, like Savannah and woodland, often neglected in global carbon accounting?

In what ways are glaciers in High Mountain Asia responding to climate change?
