Climate Change Earth Science

FREE Satellite Data
Everybody on earth loves a bargain. Soon, free access to satellite imagery from around the globe will be the new “deal of the universe.”
Lockhead Wind Forcasting System
Even with clear skies ahead, gust of wind that are not seen by the naked eye can really stir things up on an airplane.
The Soot Factor in Global Warming
NASA scientists are airing some dirty laundry - and it not only smells bad, it could be one of the biggest contributors to global warming.
Earth’s Atmosphere Breathes
New data shows the earth’s upper atmosphere takes a licking and keeps on ticking. But can satellites go with the flow?
Urban Heat Study
Using remote sensing, NASA is turning up the heat on urban climate change.
HIAPER
Scientific discovery is taking a global perspective – with an ambitious 24,000-mile mission aimed to capture a complete picture of greenhouse gases.
AIRS
For NASA, gazing at clouds is more than just a way to pass time.
The Ibuki Satellite
Japan has launched the first satellite to monitor greenhouse gases worldwide.
Mapping Forest Biodiversity
Because loggers can’t see the forest for the trees, scientists are using laser scanners to do the job.
Lockheed Makes Waves
A leader in the aerospace industry is coming down to sea level - and riding the wave of alternative energy!
NOAA-N
It has helped us decide what to wear, whether we should drive – and even how to plan our day…and now the last of its kind has left Earth for good.
Waste-d Energy
Taking out the trash and mowing the lawn are acquiring a higher status – going from “must-do chores” to “alternative-energy sources.”
Starlight Reserve
One tiny New Zealand town is staying in the dark – in order to light up the night sky.
Satellites & Ice Melt
Satellites allow us to use cell phones, forecast the weather, and study the universe – but the latest satellite technology is helping scientists gauge the signs of global warming.
Planetary Skin
NASA’s latest environmental project has the space agency flashing a little skin, in order to save some green!
Clean Sweep in Space
Space agencies are taking a new look at an old problem - orbiting space junk – and their ideas could give the cosmos a clean sweep.
European Anti Light-Pollution Reserve
Local villages in France are making history – and preserving the night sky – all in the name of astronomy.
Cyclone Tracker
Using math, computers and a catastrophic cyclone, NASA has developed a forecasting tool that could save thousands of lives.
Arctic on Thin Ice
As new melt seasons begins, how vulnerable is the Arctic’s ice cover?
Unfamiliar Bacteria
Could new species of bacteria come from outer space?
GOCE
A European satellite is on the move, mapping out the Earth’s gravitational pull – and it’s a “force” to be reckoned with.
Space Tornados
New research has revealed the cause of Earth’s beautiful auroras.
Space Solar Power
Californians may soon be getting a power boost – when 200 megawatts of electricity is beamed down from space!
Hydrokinetic Energy
NASA researchers are riding the wave of renewable energy, by using space technology to harness the power of the ocean.
Aquarius
The U.S. space agency is getting a taste for the sea, with a new mission that will show how salt can affect our lives.
SABER Studies Ionosphere
Solar storms wreak havoc on Earth and in space. Now NASA is counting on one satellite to help better understand this highly charged phenomenon.
UAVSAR & GLISTIN
NASA is putting its latest airborne radars on ice – and the idea is getting a warm reception!
Amazing Algae
What’s so interesting about algae? It could take a rocket scientist to find out.
What’s Inside a Cloud
Clouds contain a ‘holy grail’ of information for researchers studying climate change.
TIGER: Phase 2
From forecasting the weather to ensuring communication, satellites are always working – but their latest job is bringing relief to countries in dire need.
Sunrise Balloon Observatory
They built the rockets that put man on the moon… Now, they want to launch a satellite using a balloon! What is NASA up to now?!
Around the Americas
An expedition around the Americas, will track the ocean’s health, one data-set at a time.
My NASA Data
NASA is bringing the basics of science to life, by making their data, my data.
A Breathing Atmosphere
New data shows the earth’s upper atmosphere takes a licking and keeps on ticking. But can satellites go with the flow?
New Frontier in Cellular Service
How can you stop dropped cell calls or avoid cellular “dead zones?” The world’s largest commercial satellite may have the answer!
Urban Climate Change
Using remote sensing, NASA is turning up the heat on urban climate change.
OCEANSAT-2
A new ocean monitoring satellite has India riding a wave of success and other nations are jumping on board!
ASTER Earth Map
While globes and atlases had their moment, they are so last millennium. Now the most complete map of the Earth is available right from your computer!
Satellites Reveal Crop Damage
Soybeans and satellites may not have much in common, but a NASA study is using one to help the other.
Microalgae for Sale
At NASA, ‘going green’ is as simple as pairing rocket science with seaweed.
Lights Out
One tiny New Zealand town is staying in the dark in order to light up the night sky.
Accelerated Ice Melt
Satellites allow us to use cell phones, forecast the weather, and study the universe but the latest satellite technology is helping scientists gauge the signs of global warming.
The Growing Problem of Space Junk
Space agencies are taking a new look at an old problem - orbiting space junk – and their ideas could give the cosmos a clean sweep.
Anti-Light Pollution Reserve
Local villages in France are making history and preserving the night sky all in the name of astronomy.
