The Deformation, Ecosystem Structure, and Dynamics of Ice (DESDynI) satellite mission is a proposed NASA mission intended to advance our understanding of Earth's polar regions, particularly focusing on ice dynamics, ecosystems, and deformation of Earth's surface.
DESDynI's main scientific objectives include monitoring ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice in polar regions with exceptional precision. It aims to study the dynamics of ice, changes in ice volume, and their impact on sea level rise.
Furthermore, the mission seeks to examine ecosystems in polar environments, including the behaviour of vegetation and its response to environmental changes.
DESDynI represents a vital initiative to enhance our knowledge of Earth's polar regions and their influence on global climate. This mission has the potential to provide critical data for understanding and addressing climate change and its impacts on ice-covered regions and ecosystems.
