That’s 600 million people who need someone to keep a sharp set of eyes trained on the earth’s poles, where ice melting into the oceans could put their homes at risk. Stanford electrical engineers Howard Zebker and Shadi Oveisgharan are developing precisely such a sentry for detecting changes in polar ice masses.
