Dear Colleagues,
This year at the AGU fall meeting there will be a session dedicated to ICESat-2 related research (C030). The session scope is broad and we hope to include as many of the disciplines involved with the mission as possible (instrumentation development and testing, algorithm development, MABEL support, etc.). The session is listed under Cryosphere but is cross listed with Atmospheric Sciences (A), Biogeosciences (B) and Ocean Sciences (OS).
The full session description is as follows:
Session ID#: 7527
NASA’s Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) will continue the tradition established by ICESat (2003-2009) of providing multi-year elevation measurements needed to quantify change in the Earth’s cryosphere. Since ICESat-2 will collect data globally, it will also provide valuable measurements for the broader research community including those focused on using altimetry to support multi-disciplinary studies. This session will provide a forum for the current scientific and technological achievements associated with pre-launch algorithm development, instrumentation analysis, and data product generation over the broad range of surface measurements; from sea ice to inland water. Submissions associated with future data usage in support of terrestrial, atmospheric and oceanographic applications are encouraged as are those associated with on-orbit calibration/validation techniques and data distribution
Session Conveners: Lori Magruder (University of Texas Applied Research Laboratories) and Tom Neumann (NASA GSFC)

Please consider submitting an abstract and be sure to forward this information to your own colleagues that might be interested. Also, keep in mind that if you submit your abstract by July 29th, you could potentially win FREE registration however, the official submission deadline is August 5, 11:59 pm EDT.
