Ubicada en el Ártico cerca del Polo Norte, la isla de Groenlandia está cubierta por una enorme capa de hielo equivalente a tres veces el tamaño de Texas y de 1,6 kilómetros (una milla) de profundidad en promedio.

Video: Southern Hemisphere ozone between July 1 and December 31 for selected years between 1979 and 2018.

Visualization of 30 named storms during the 2020 hurricane season

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.

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?

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 👻

Video: 25 years of Antarctic land ice elevation change

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.

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

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

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.

Video: Using observations from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2) satellite, scientists developed a model of the behavior of carbon in the atmosphere from September 1, 2014 to August 31, 2015.

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

Video: Global sea level rise is accelerating incrementally over time rather than increasing at a steady rate.

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.

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.

Land. Water. Fire. Ice. These elements are basic ingredients that make up planet Earth. Take a moment to admire the magnificent spectacle of our stunning home planet from the perspective of space.

Video: Winter temperatures are soaring in the Arctic for the fourth winter in a row.

Video: A visualization of the annual Arctic sea ice "minimum" for each year from 1979 through 2022.

This animation shows how various temperature records and Arctic sea ice have changed between 1850 and 2018 from human and natural drivers of climate change.

NASA scientists say 2013 tied for the seventh warmest of any year since 1880, continuing a long-term trend of rising global temperatures.

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

La fuerza de la gravedad no solo evita que nos alejemos flotando, sino que también permite a la NASA estudiar el agua y el hielo de la Tierra desde el espacio.

Los gases de efecto invernadero son vitales para la vida en la Tierra, pero la creciente concentración de ciertos gases, como el dióxido de carbono, está afectando el delicado equilibrio del planeta.

Earth has about 370,000,000,000,000,000,000 (quintillion) gallons of water, with some sources easier to access and use than others. The water budget tells us where that water is – key information that helps better plan for the future.
