Tracking Ice, Tracking Change: Glaciers as Climate Sensors 

Melting glaciers worldwide are significant indicators of climate change, revealing dynamic shifts in Earth’s environment. Satellite technology plays a crucial role in tracking these changes by measuring glacier movement and mass balance to assess climate impacts. Glaciers are dynamic and sensitive geosystems that respond to human-driven climate changes, constantly moving and evolving rather than being

Predicting Underwater Landslides Before They Strike 

Below ocean wind farms, oil rigs and other offshore installations are mammoth networks of underwater structures, including pipelines, anchors, risers and cables, that are essential to harness the energy source. But much like terrestrial structures, these subsea constructions are also vulnerable to natural events, like submarine landslides, that can hamper the productivity of installations below

NASA’s PACE Mission Reveals a Year of Terrestrial Data on Plant Health 

A lot can change in a year for Earth’s forests and vegetation, as springtime and rainy seasons can bring new growth, while cooling temperatures and dry weather can bring a dieback of those green colors. And now, a novel type of NASA visualization illustrates those changes in a full complement of colors as seen from
