We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Freeze/Thaw Data Access and Tools
Data from NASA range from daily composites of global landscape freeze/thaw conditions to daily thaw state maps of Boreal and Arctic Alaska. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the data they need to measure and understand freezing and thawing processes within Earth’s cryosphere.
