Pine Island Glacier Ice Island 2013

In early November 2013, a large iceberg separated from the front of Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier. It thus began a journey across Pine Island Bay, a basin of the Amundsen Sea. The ice island, named B31, will likely be swept up soon in the swift currents of…

Megadroughts Projected for American West

NASA scientists used tree rings to understand past droughts and climate models incorporating soil moisture data to estimate future drought risk in the 21st century.

Faces of GPM: Engineers

A look at some of the engineers working on the GPM Core spacecraft. Beth Weinstein, Carlton Peters, and Lisa Bartusek are all part of the larger integration and test team that put the spacecraft through its paces and prepares it for launch.

Ocean Circulation Plays an Important Role in Absorbing Carbon from the Atmosphere

The oceans play a significant role in absorbing greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, and heat from the atmosphere. This absorption can help mitigate the early effects of human-emissions of carbon dioxide.

Yellowstone Burn Recovery Timelapse

In this time-lapse video, a series of false-color images collected by USGS-NASA Landsat satellites from 1987 to 2018 show the burning and gradual regeneration of Yellowstone's forests following the 1988 fire season. Watch as burn scars (dark red) quickly repl…

NASA Catches April 1 Nor'easter over New England

The Global Precipitation Measurement mission catches the April 1, 2017, Nor'easter over New England.

Tsunami Study Challenges Long-held Formation Theory

A new NASA study is challenging a long-held theory on how tsunamis form and offering a new method for forecasting the powerful waves. Most tsunamis result from a massive shifting of the seafloor -- usually from the subduction, or sliding, of one tectonic plat…

ATom Postcard - Alaska and the Arctic

On its second worldwide tour, the Atmospheric Tomography (ATom) team starts by surveying the north’s polar regions during winter, which is marked by a build-up of pollution from the United States, Canada, northern China, and Russia. In the spring, sunlight sp…

Arctic Sea Ice Reaches Another Record Low

On March 7, 2017, Arctic sea ice reached its annual wintertime maximum extent, according to scientists at the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) and NASA. The Arctic sea ice extent set a record low after a warm winter.
