The map above depicts global temperature anomalies in 2022. It does not show absolute temperatures; instead, it shows how much warmer or cooler each region of Earth was compared to the average from 1951 to 1980. The bar chart below shows 2022 in context with temperature anomalies since 1880...
A map showing the two-mile-long plume of methane southeast of Carlsbad, New Mexico, detected by NASA's EMIT sensorsNASA / JPL-Caltech An instrument on the International Space Station (ISS) has detected more than 50 sites on Earth that are super-emitters of the potent greenhouse gas metha...
Global warming is politics, not science, say a group of former astronauts and NASA employees who call upon the agency to stop making "unsubstantiated claims" about climate change.
Alignment with Strategic Roadmap: The Second Space Resources Challenge is a pivotal part of ESA’s Space Resources Challenge strategic roadmap to build out the ISRU Value Chain. The next phase of the program will focus on “Watts on the Moon”, i.e. reliable surface power sources for lunar...
(European Space Agency) mission that also looks at changes to Earth’s surface, although it uses a different type of radar instrument than the ones NISAR will use. Working with Sentinel-1 data in the cloud, engineers produced a colorized map showing the change in Earth’s surface...
A NASA global burn map from 2015 created with data acquired from NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites. Credit: NASA Just over a decade ago, scientists found that methane -- a potent greenhouse gas -- had begun to rapidly increase in our atmosphere. The amounts of gas leaking into the sky ...
Trident would map Triton, characterize active processes and determine whether the predicted subsurface ocean exists. Louise Prockter of the Lunar and Planetary Institute/Universities Space Research Association in Houston is the principal investigator. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California...
The multi-year global dataset of water ice clouds from MARCI provides a valuable resource for studying the seasonal and interannual variations in the spatial distribution of clouds in the Martian atmosphere. Our study focuses on NH summer, which is a season of considerable cloudiness in the tropics...
That's where the ACCESS program comes in. Part of the Earth Science Data Systems division since 2005, ACCESS finds innovative ways to streamline that cumbersome processing time. The program funds two-year research projects to improve behind-the-scenes data management and provide ready-to-use datas...
but global temperature averages still soared over the last year. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have both released reports stating that 2017 was one of the hottest years since records began in 1880. That continues along-term trendof rapid warming that doesn't...
