The Campaign
NASA’s Operation IceBridge was a large-scale airborne investigation designed to bridge the gap in polar observations between the ICESat and ICESat-2 satellite missions. IceBridge consisted of several deployments from 2009 to 2021 across Greenland, Alaska, Antarctica, and the Arctic Sea. Over 1,000 aircraft surveys were completed with various remote sensors such as the Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM), the Digital Mapping System (DMS), and the Land Vegetation and Ice Sensor (LVIS) to map sea ice and topography across polar coastal regions. IceBridge was funded through NASA’s Cryospheric Sciences Program.
