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

A quick guide to the science behind sea level rise from an ice-loss perspective, what it means in relatable terms and why it matters.

Take a 360-degree view of an iceberg and sea ice during Operation IceBridge flights over Greenland.

Video: Images created from GRACE data showing changes in Greenland ice mass since 2002.

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

Desde 1978, la NASA ha estado monitoreando los vientos oceánicos a través de la dispersometría, cuyos datos han mejorado los pronósticos meteorológicos y de huracanes y nos han ayudado a comprender mejor los patrones climáticos globales.

Fly in 360 degrees over Greenland’s craggy glaciers and other ice formations from NASA’s P-3 aircraft.

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.

Visualization of globally averaged July temperatures since 1880, with July 2023 being the warmest month on record.

Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich will join a long-standing family of Earth-observing satellites from NASA and European partners, including EUMETSAT and the French space agency CNES.

This visualization shows that as land temperatures have increased since 1950, hotter days have become more common and colder days have become less common.

An animation with voiceover narration showing the global ocean tides as a complex system of rotating and trapped waves with a mixture of frequencies.

This visualization shows total sea level change between 1992 and 2019, based on data collected from the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, and Jason-3 satellites.

Visualization of 30 named storms during the 2020 hurricane season

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

Ice covers 10 percent of Earth's surface and helps moderate the planet's temperature. Glaciers and ice sheets around the world are melting at an alarming rate. By keeping an eye on Earth's ice from space, NASA satellites help us understand the global effects of climate change.

A video depicts all seven continents on Earth converging over 250 million years into one new supercontinent called Aurica.

Karen St. Germain, NASA's director of Earth science, gave a presentation at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference.
