Cryosat

CryoSat-2 is a satellite launched by the European Space Agency in 2010 to monitor Earth's polar ice and snow. It uses advanced radar technology to measure the thickness of ice, helping scientists understand how climate change affects polar regions. By providing detailed data on ice loss, CryoSat-2 plays a critical role in assessing sea level rise and the health of glaciers and ice sheets. Its observations contribute to climate research and improve predictions about future environmental changes, making it an important tool for understanding our planet's climate system.
