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

Video: Explore how scientists determine glacial speed from space.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

An animation shows several high impact events across the globe between August 2019 and January 2020, including the Australian bushfires.

Los aerosoles son diminutas partículas sólidas y líquidas suspendidas en la atmósfera.

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

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

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

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

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

Quiz: Carbon and the climate

Video: The ocean's important role in absorbing heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

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

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

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.
