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.

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

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.

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

Oceanographer Josh Willis discusses the heat capacity of water, performs an experiment to demonstrate heat capacity using a water balloon and describes how water's ability to store heat affects Earth's climate.

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.

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 quick guide to the science behind sea level rise from an ice-loss perspective, what it means in relatable terms and why it matters.

This visualization shows sea surface temperature (SST) data from January 2016 through March 2020.

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

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

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