    ESA Greenland CCI project

The ESA Greenland Climate Change Initiative project has released
a new set of Essential Climate Variables for the Greenland ice
sheet. The new data sets include:

  • CryoSat elevation change trends 2010-15 on a 5 km grid,
    including 2-year running means;
  • Ice Velocities for the entire Greenland ice sheet on a 500 m
    grid from RadarSat and Sentinel-1 2013-15;
  • Time series of Ice Velocities for 9 major outlet glaciers from
    S-1;
  • Updated Calving Front Locations for main glaciers from S-1;
  • Updated Grounding Line Location from S-1 for the Petermann
    Glacier; and
  • GRACE mass change products for the entire ice sheet as well as
    8 main drainage basins.

    The Northern Bering Sea: Our Way of Life
    National Snow and Ice Data Center/ELOKA

The Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA)
project at the National Snow and Ice Data Center is pleased to announce
the release of a website focused on the cultural and ecological
significance of the northern Bering Sea.

The Northern Bering Sea: Our Way of Life highlights large hunting and
fishing areas, overlayed with the distribution of key species. It
illustrates that the whole northern Bering Sea is the storehouse that
supports the way of life for Indigenous peoples of the region. The
Northern Bering Sea: Our Way of Life is a project of the Bering Sea
Elders Group, with support from Alaska Marine Conservation Council.
Initially produced in print and as an electronic PDF file, NSIDC and
ELOKA staff designed a website archiving the content and preserving it
in an interactive way online.
