Can Volcanic Super Eruptions Lead to Major Cooling? Study Suggests No 

New research suggests that sunlight-blocking particles from an extreme eruption would not cool surface temperatures on Earth as severely as previously estimated.  Some 74,000 years ago, the Toba volcano in Indonesia exploded with a force 1,000 times more powerful than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. The mystery is what happened after that—namely, to

Satellites Eye Winter Cover Crops 

For the second year in a row, farmers in Maryland planted a record amount of winter cover crops in 2016-17. These cold-tolerant crops—including wheat, rye, barley and radish—are planted in the fall. In addition to increasing soil health and boosting yields, cover crops reduce soil erosion and absorb nutrients such as nitrogen that could otherwise affect water quality

OpenET Study Helps Water Managers and Farmers Put NASA Data to Work 

As the world looks for sustainable solutions, a system tapping into NASA satellite data for water management has passed a critical test.  Called OpenET, the system uses an ensemble of six satellite-driven models that harness publicly available data from the Landsat program to calculate evapotranspiration (ET)—the movement of water vapor from soil and plant leaves

Analysis Finds Strong El Niño Could Bring Extra Floods This Winter 

An analysis by NASA’s sea-level change science team finds that if a strong El Niño develops this winter, cities along the western coasts of the Americas could see an increase in the frequency of high-tide flooding that can swamp roads and spill into low-lying buildings.  El Niño is a periodic climate phenomenon characterized by higher-than-normal

NASA-ISRO Radar Mission to Provide Dynamic View of Forests, Wetlands 

Once it launches in early 2024, the NISAR radar satellite mission will offer detailed insights into two types of ecosystems—forests and wetlands—vital to naturally regulating the greenhouses gases in the atmosphere that are driving global climate change.  NISAR, short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, is a joint mission by NASA and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation),
