Abstract
This chapter covers the period 2006–2009. Michael Freilich took over Earth Science. An oceanographer, he regarded Wilson as a mentor. He used the Decadal Survey (2007–2017) as a guide to planning and strategy for insulating his program from disruptive climate politics. He began incrementally to rebuild the Earth Science division, pointing to the sea-level program as a priority. Promoting new satellites, he made sure there was continuity in polar ice observation through an ICESAT-2 and an aircraft program, ICEBridge, between ICESAT-1 and this follow-on.
