ESA's ice mission, CryoSat, was launched in 2010 and carried an advanced radar altimeter to measure Earth's cryosphere.

14 years later, the satellite has gathered data that helps monitor the ongoing impact of climate change on polar ice, and measures changes to icebergs, glaciers, and sea ice.

This infographic showcases just a few of the applications CryoSat data has supported:

The success stories feature examples of how CryoSat data has supported the mission's primary objectives, but also other applications including flood prediction, measuring water loss in lakes, and diagnosing weak ionospheric currents.
