- Reposted by Polar ObserverThat's terrible news to read. For us documenting #SeaIce, having colleagues that share comparable data obtained by different algorithms is a form of quality assessment of our own data. It is a terrible loss for us as it is for our whole user community. @eumetsat.int @nsidc.bsky.social
- This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

- Reposted by Polar ObserverAbsolutely devastating news. I haven't worked directly with them, but PGC has done such great work. ArcticDEM is a masterpiece of geospatial data.
- Effective immediately, the PGC is no longer accepting new NSF-supported requests due to a lack of renewal funding. Current work is wrapping up. Please contact your NSF program officer if impacted. We’re grateful to have supported your polar research. Read our full statement at www.pgc.umn.edu
