ICESat-2 provides the public with new measurements on the heights of Earth's surfaces. The mission's application program is designed to engage people -- ice scientists, ecologists, hydrologists, the Navy, and others -- who use these height observations to provide fundamental knowledge of how ICESat-2 data products are used in resource management, policy development and decision making. The applications program connects ICESat-2 science to practical societal needs. It facilitates and fosters new collaborations, with the realized expectations that ICESat-2 data has benefits beyond what the mission currently imagines.

Over the past year, we have spent time speaking with our Early Adopters to capture the ingenuity through which they have created amazing applications using ICESat-2 data. Please take a look and listen to their stories and how they have benefited from being a part of the ICESat-2 Early Adopter Program.
