Satellites and submarines give the skinny on sea ice thickness Sep 2, 2009
"A fantastic change is happening on Earth it's truly one of the biggest changes in environmental conditions on Earth since the end of the ice age," said Tom Wagner, cryosphere program manager at NASA Headquarters. "It's not an easy thing to observe, let alone predict, what might happen next.". (EurekAlert!)
LETTER: Too many letter writers relying on fantasy May 29, 2009
The UIUC's Cryosphere Today site is an excellent source of sea ice information and if you would have read the site, you would have known that your statement saying "the polar ice caps are melting faster than ever" is just plain wrong. Cryosphere's charts clearly show that Northern and Southern Hemisphere sea ice extent has been expanding. (Mattoon Journal-Gazette, IL)

First of all, let me make it clear that the State of Alaska understands the effects of climate change in the cryosphere. We Alaskans are living with the changes that you are observing in Washington. (Human Events Online)
Arctic losing thick sea ice, U.S. data show Apr 7, 2009
Tom Wagner, cryosphere program manager with the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, acknowledged yesterday that diminishing ice has very big implications for northern shipping and resource exploitation. It] opens up issues of who owns the Arctic, he said in a conference call presenting the new data. (Globe and Mail)
NASA flies to Greenland to extend polar science Apr 1, 2009
"It's research like this on sea ice and the Greenland ice sheet that we use to understand how the polar regions are connected to global climate change and discover what changes are going on in atmospheric and ocean circulations," said Tom Wagner, cryosphere program manager at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.. Krabill pioneered observing techniques that have created a continuous record of ice sheet changes. (EurekAlert! -- Business News)
Europe Launches First Earth Explorer Mission Goce Mar 18, 2009
GOCE is the first Earth Explorer Core Mission under ESA s Living Planet Programme which was initiated in 1999 to foster research on the Earth s atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere and interior, their interaction and the impact of human activities on these natural processes. Two more Core Missions, selected to address specific topics of major public concern, are already under development: ADM-Aeolus for atmospheric dynamics (2011), and EarthCARE to investigate the Earth s radiative...
