For more than 50 years, NASA satellites have provided data on Earth's land, water, air, temperature, and climate. NASA's Earth Information Center allows visitors to see how our planet is changing in six key areas: sea level rise and coastal impacts, health and air quality, wildfires, gree...
“A key to making the interface tool work is cloud computing,” Larour said. Instead of burdening your own computer with heavy demand, “you can access a JPL cloud to run big simulations.” The VESL platform allows the user to control one or two parameters for each model scenario...
NASA and other federal agencies launched a new website last week that shows past, present, and future sea level rise along America’s coastlines. It combines data from satellites with readings from sensors on the ground to create aninteractive map. National Sea Level Explorer – U.S. Sea Lev...

Announced asea level rise tool, which shows how sea levels will change on a local level. With the U.S. Geological Survey, launchedLandsat 9, a satellite built to monitor Earth’s changing landscapes. It will continue a 50-year satellite data record. ...
Researchers will compare readings from both the satellites to ensure the accuracy of the new satellite and to precisely calibrate its instruments. Then the new Sentinel-6 will take over as the primary tool for measuring sea-level rise.
Removing such bottlenecks is critical to realizing the full potential of SVMs as an onboard autonomy tool. In 2007, a small JPL team evaluated the effectiveness of FPGAs for SVM algorithms for a legacy snow-water-ice-land (SWIL) classifier, originally developed for the Hyperion instrument, on...
To study sea levels, NASA has used satellite altimetry, which measures the time a radar burst takes to hit Earth's surface and return to orbiting spacecraft such as TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason 1 and then Jason 2. The measurement is extremely precise: Freilich mentioned that such a tool mounted on...
A team of NASA rocket scientists is developing autonomous underwater robots that are able to go where humans cannot, deep beneath Antarctica’s giant ice shelves. The robots’ task is to better understand how rapidly ice is melting — and how quickly that could cause catastrophic sea lev...
The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) National Ocean Service has been monitoring sea-level variations for many years (NOAA, 2006). NOAA s Tides & Currents DST decision support tool, managed by the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, is the portal to a ...
