Today’s Video of the Day comes from NASA Goddard and features a look at two new satellites designed to track how Earth’s poles are changing.
Both satellite missions will specifically monitor how ice sheets are melting and shrinking. Over the last several decades, ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica have rapidly lost ice mass. Scientists say that this could raise global sea level by 1 to 4 feet by 2100.
