Finding fingerprints in sea level riseEurekAlert | 21 May 2012As described in a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, graduate students Eric Morrow and Carling Hay demonstrate the use of a statistical tool called a Kalman smoother to identify "sea level fingerprints" -- tell-tale variations in sea level rise -- in a synthetic data set. Using those fingerprints, scientists can determine where glacial melting is occurring.
Sea Level Rise Unparalleled views of Earth's coastal zone with HREP-HICOScienceDaily.com | 21 May 2012Scanning the globe from the vantage point of the International Space Station is about more than the fantastic view. While cruising in low Earth orbit, the space station HICO and RAIDS Experiment Payload-Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean, or HREP-HICO, gives researchers a valuable new way to view the coastal zone.
