I've recently seen an interesting documentary [1] about then-senator Al Gore asking the CIA to study the vast satellite image archives to figure out what was going on with the arctic. They half-heartedly started a project but it really only took off when Bill clinton became president and Al Gore vice president. They'd invited scientists of all disciplines to the CIA, gave them clearances in an accelerated process and gave them access to the images. They even went to russia to study their reports of the arctic. With Bush, the project was cancelled until Obama revived it and even established a dedicated office [2].
