Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 Mission Applied User Program
ICESat-2 Applied Users (AUs) are defined as those groups and individuals who have a direct or clearly defined need for ICESat-2 data, who have an existing application, who have an interest in utilizing a proposed ICESat-2 product, and who can apply their own resources (funding, personnel, facilities, etc.) to demonstrate the utility of ICESat-2 data for their system or model. Current AUs include ICESat-2's Early Adopters who committed to engage in pre-launch research to accelerate the integration of ICESat-2 products after launch in their specific application. Application is defined here as an innovative use of mission data products in decision making activities for societal benefit.
The goal of the Applied User designation is to provide individuals and groups with the unique opportunity to partner with ICESat-2 mission scientists in their discovery of the data. Applied Users commit to engage in post-launch research with specific support from the Mission and Applications Team, not only to accelerate the integration of ICESat-2 products into their specific application, but to provide the Mission with valuable feedback on how ICESat-2 can be used for decision support.
If you would like to nominate yourself or others to be an Applied User, please send a short description of your application to the POC (Aimee Neeley; aimee.neeley@nasa.gov).
Thank you in advance for your interest and we look forward to reading about your research efforts!
