The relentless rise of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Trick or treat? How many pumpkins would it take to equal the mass of the world’s annual fossil fuel carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions? Hint: This isn’t a trick 👻

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

Satellite scatterometer missions make essential measurements to support weather and marine forecasting. Learn more about how they work, why they measure ocean winds, and what the QuikScat mission accomplished during its time in orbit.

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

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

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.

Animation showing changes in Greenland ice mass since 2002 based on satellite data.

Head into the field with first responders, fire scientists and forest managers to see what challenges they face and how NASA can help mitigate the effects of longer and more intense fire seasons.

The visualization shows monthly global temperature anomalies (changes from an average) between the years 1880 and 2022.

Explore Kaneohe Bay with NASA’s CORAL scientists. During field campaigns, scientists take in-water (in situ) measurements to validate the data from airborne instruments.

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.

By comparing bee data to satellite imagery, NASA research scientist Wayne Esaias uses honey bees as tiny data collectors to understand how climate change is affecting pollination and plants.

Carbon dioxide is the main heat-trapping greenhouse gas that humans emit. How much do you know about it and its impact on global warming and climate change?

A visualization shows ocean currents circulating Pine Island Bay and flowing under Pine Island Glacier.

Salinity plays a major role in global ocean circulation and changes in salinity may impact regional and global climates. NASA's Aquarius mission is painting a global picture of our planet's salty waters.

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.

Las nubes son complicadas cuando se trata de la ciencia del clima, ya que calientan y enfrían la Tierra.
