A visualization of U.S. East Coast ocean flows

Video: Explore how scientists determine glacial speed from space.

This animation compares sea surface salinity (saltiness) data from two NASA datasets from 2015 to 2017.

Oceanographer Josh Willis discusses the heat capacity of water, performs an experiment to demonstrate heat capacity using a water balloon and describes how water's ability to store heat affects Earth's climate.

The basics of sea level rise, expressed in everyday terms, and what it means for those on the coast.

This visualization presents methane emissions across the United States for the year 2012.

This animation shows the change in atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) levels as a result of COVID-19 stay-at-home restrictions.

Video: 25 years of Antarctic land ice elevation change

La NASA no estudia solo las estrellas y los planetas; también le preocupa la tierra debajo de tus pies.

Join NASA Earth scientists for a 360-degree view of our planet as they head into the field to study ice in Greenland and coral reefs in Hawaii.

The past decade has been the hottest ever recorded since global temperature records began 150 years ago. This video discusses the impacts of the sun's energy, Earth's reflectance and greenhouse gasses on global warming.

Video: NASA's Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) and Operation IceBridge missions investigate Greenland's thinning ice sheets from above and below.

This visualization depicts changes in Antarctic land ice thickness as measured by the ICESat and ICESat-2 satellites.

Visualization that captures sea surface temperature anomalies around the world from 1982 to 2017.

An animation shows global sea level trends from 1993 to 2022 as observed by several satellite missions.

Durante más de 20 años, la NASA ha estado rastreando la topografía de la superficie global del océano para comprender el importante papel que desempeña en nuestras vidas.

Continuing key Earth observations is really important to see how our atmosphere, land, and ocean are changing over time. A long-term record, combined with cutting-edge observations from the new NASA Earth System Observatory, will continue to push boundaries to better understand our ever-changing planet.

This video shows the accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) during a single calendar year.

This documentary traces the efforts of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to measure greenhouse gases.

Nuestra Tierra tiene fiebre. Nuestros científicos creen que la temperatura de la Tierra podría subir de 3 a 10 grados Fahrenheit durante este siglo.

Video: A high-resolution, three-dimensional view of global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations from September 1, 2014 to August 31, 2015.

B-roll for media on the sea level-observing Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite.

This animation shows how global sea levels have risen more than 80 millimeters (3.15 inches) over the past three decades, which is like covering the U.S. in about 4 meters (about 13 feet) of water over that period.

NASA explores. From its earliest days of sounding rockets and balloon-borne instruments, to Apollo and Hubble and missions to Mars. This mission of exploration has also always focused on our own corner of the universe, Earth - the home frontier. Earth is still the only planet we've ever been to, as this video explains.

This visualization shows sea surface temperature (SST) data from January 2016 through March 2020.
