All-nighters are all in a day's work for KU graduate students collecting data as part of NASA's Operation Ice Bridge Mission to study polar ice.
Wednesday’s mission was a chance for the University of Kansas’ SNOW and Ku-Band radars to shine. NASA’s Operation Ice Bridge leaders took advantage of favorable weather patterns and made the rapidly disappearing sea ice the target of the day.
Radar developed at the National Science Foundation Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets is providing valuable data about the state of the world's ice sheets in Antarctica.
