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

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

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.

This video shows the accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) during a single calendar year.

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

¡La NASA no explora solamente el espacio exterior! Desde 1959, con el lanzamiento del primer satélite meteorológico, la NASA ha estado estudiando nuestro planeta de origen a escala global.

The relentless rise of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

A view from one of our flying science laboratories over the ice in Greenland during Operation IceBridge.

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.

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

Learn how you can explore Eyes on the Earth's many features, including real-time data visualizations of Earth's vital signs and 3D models of Earth-orbiting satellite missions.

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

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

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.

Video: total sea level change between 1992 and 2014, based on data collected from the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1 and Jason-2 satellites.

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

This visualization shows carbon emissions from fires from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2018. The color bar reflects the quantity of carbon emitted.

Video: Explore how scientists determine glacial speed from space.

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

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

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

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

Antes de la Revolución Industrial, el clima de la Tierra cambiaba debido a eventos naturales como la actividad volcánica y las variaciones de la energía solar.

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