ICESat-2, on the other hand, relies on lasers that reflect directly off the surface but struggle in cloudy conditions. Together, they form a complementary system, filling gaps in each other’s data.

ESA's CryoSat-2 uses radar to measure the height of Earth's surface, while NASA's ICESat-2 uses laser measurements. Both methods have pros and cons, and researchers wanted to be sure the two ...

On February 4, 2025, a team from Sun Yat-sen University published a study in Journal of Remote Sensing, unveiling a novel method that combines machine learning with ICESat-2 satellite data and ...

The study introduces a unique approach that combines machine learning algorithms, such as XGBoost and LightGBM, with ICESat-2 satellite data and multispectral imagery from Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2.
