My name is Waleed Abdalati. I study ice from space, in particular the Greenland ice sheet and its contributions to sea level by using satellites to observe gains and losses in the mass of the ice. I have been deeply involved with NASA satellites, especially the ICESat satellites, which help us measure and investigate how Earth's ice sheets and glaciers are changing and what those changes mean for our planet and our communities.
