  • A unique pairing of ESA’s Sentinel-1 satellites is providing scientists with one of the most detailed views ever assembled of Antarctic ice movement, allowing researchers to compare nearly three decades of glacier flow and ice-sheet dynamics. The new observations improve understanding of how Antarctica is responding to a changing climate and how ice loss may

  • Scientists are closely monitoring the return of El Niño conditions as warming sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific begin influencing weather patterns around the world. New satellite observations provide an increasingly detailed view of changes occurring across the Pacific Ocean, offering researchers valuable information for seasonal forecasting.  Earth-observation satellites measure sea-surface temperatures, cloud development, rainfall

  • New observations from NASA’s TEMPO mission are providing an unprecedented look at how air pollution changes throughout the day across the northeastern United States. Recent imagery captured elevated ozone concentrations stretching from New York City to Washington, D.C., demonstrating the ability of the instrument to track atmospheric conditions with remarkable detail.  Unlike previous satellite missions

  • A new suite of geospatial innovations designed to turn data into actionable intelligence for global food systems was announced on May 27, 2026. The Geospatial Innovation for Food Security (GIFS) Challenge selected three project awardees to develop tools that will aid humanitarian agencies, governments and agricultural specialists to navigate the complexities of agricultural production, climate

  • Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., have been working on the tricky problem of CubeSat transmission antennas, which must be small enough for these diminutive devices yet still transmit data through the huge expanses of space. “It’s like pulling a rabbit out of a hat,” said Nacer Chahat, a specialist in […]

  • New Real-Time Maps Transform Forecast Data into Vivid Pictures of U.S. River Flows REDLANDS, Calif.—August 25, 2016—Smart-mapping leader Esri today released a beautiful, robust new collection of Web maps that forecast NOAA stream-flow data throughout the continental U.S. Esri’s multiscale visualization of the National Water Model enables forecast water flows in real time at high […]

  • January 7 — Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Michael Huerta today announced the public release of the B4UFLY mobile application following an initial beta testing period.

  • Ordnance Survey (OS) and Dennis Maps have signed an agreement for Britain’s mapping agency to acquire a 25%.
