IceBridge Logo NASA will hold a media teleconference at 2 p.m. EST on Monday, Nov. 15, from Punta Arenas, Chile, to discuss the agency's Operation IceBridge. Researchers are using seven instruments aboard NASA's DC-8 flying laboratory to map Antarctic ice surfaces and the features hidden below. The data are critical for understanding the dynamics of ice in West Antarctica and its impact on sea-level rise.
During the briefing, IceBridge scientists will provide an overview of the multi-year mission and an update on flights under way over Antarctica. They also will describe some of the observations made since flights began on Oct. 26.
Briefing Participants
Michael Studinger IceBridge project scientist, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center/University of Maryland, Baltimore County | Seelye Martin Research scientist (sea ice), University of Washington, Seattle |
