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?

NASA's new Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 space satellite will probe the carbon cycle like never before, telling us where the carbon is going and giving us clues as to where we will end up.

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.

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

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

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 👻

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

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.

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.

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

Color-coded map of changing global surface temperature anomalies from 1880 through 2022. 

This movie shows the evolution of several regions of the Greenland Ice Sheet between 2008 and 2300 based on three different climate scenarios.

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

The carbon dioxide cycle is the movement of carbon dioxide (CO₂) between the land, the atmosphere, and the ocean. Print this page to color with your kids at home.

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

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

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.

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.

Video: 25 years of Antarctic land ice elevation change

Video: Simulation of global clouds and aerosols from September 1, 2005, to December 31, 2005.

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.

This animation shows the movement of carbon dioxide between the air and sea with the help of ocean surface winds from Jan. 3, 2012 to Aug. 15, 2012.
