NASA will host a live Google+ Hangout news conference on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at
3 p.m. EDT about Operation IceBridge's upcoming airborne field campaign in
Antarctica.
This is the first year IceBridge will operate directly from Antarctica,
flying from McMurdo Station starting in mid-November instead of from southern
Chile. This change will allow IceBridge researchers to survey parts of
Antarctica previously unavailable to them since the mission began in 2009.
IceBridge is a multi-year NASA science mission to study ice conditions at
both poles. The mission's survey flights gather data on changes in ice elevation
and thickness and measure the shape of bedrock and water cavities beneath ice
using a suite of scientific instruments. The mission provides critical
measurements that bridge the gap between observations supplied by NASA's Ice,
Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite, or ICESat, and the upcoming ICESat-2.
Panelists for this briefing are:
-- Michael Studinger, IceBridge project scientist, NASA Goddard Space Flight
Center, Greenbelt, Md.
-- Christy Hansen, IceBridge project manager, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
-- Chad Naughton, project manager, National Science Foundation's U.S. Antarctic Program, Centennial, Colo.
-- Christy Hansen, IceBridge project manager, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
-- Chad Naughton, project manager, National Science Foundation's U.S. Antarctic Program, Centennial, Colo.
The Hangout will be broadcast on NASA Goddard's Google+ and YouTube pages and
carried live on NASA Television and the agency's website. Journalists can submit
questions via comments on these pages or on Twitter using the hashtag
#IceBridge.
