It's amazing that the ESA's CryoSat mission mission has lasted as long as it has. They'll do some remote surgery later this year that will hopefully keep it chugging along for a while yet. In the meantime the science keeps coming. bbc.com/news/science-e… Earthwave The University of Edinburgh
Earth's glaciers are losing 2% of their ice per decade, disturbing the water supply billions rely on. Tracked by ESA's CryoSat mission at a cost of €0.01 per European citizen per year. Great work Livia Jakob & Noel Gourmelen tinyurl.com/yhk5kacb
