99% of Earth’s land ice is locked into the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. But from 2003–2009, the world’s other glaciers contributed equally to sea level rise as the two ice sheets combined.
A team of scientists has won a berth on a tiny satellite to explore one of NASA's last frontiers in climate studies: the imbalance in Earth's energy budget.
Strong winds sent a wall of ice crashing into cottages along the southwestern shore of Manitoba’s Dauphin Lake on May 10, 2013. A total of 27 houses near Ochre Beach were damaged, 13 beyond repair.
The Hurricane Season of the Eastern Pacific Ocean officially begins today, May 15 and NASA satellites captured imagery of the first named tropical storm, Alvin.
While we need to protect Earth from the most intense forms of space weather, some people worry that a gigantic flare could hurl enough energy to destroy Earth, but this is not actually possible.
The sun emitted a third significant solar flare in under 24 hours, peaking at 9:11 p.m. EDT on May 13, 2013. This flare is classified as an X3.2 flare.
The Aqua satellite provided this satellite image showing a series of hotspots found in the Siberian region of Russia. These hotspots have been categorized as wildfires rather than agricultural fires.
The GPM Ground Validation team collected a coordinated, co-scanned multi-radar frequency and dual-polarimetric dataset with the D3R and NPOL radars in a mixture of rain, snow and sleet.
After several weeks of survey flights the IceBridge team has returned from the Arctic and have started processing collected data and planning for the Antarctic campaign coming up later this year.
Several missions within NASA’s Heliophysics observatory (Soho,Stereo,SDO) captured images of a gigantic eruption on the sun on May 1, 2013. Working together, such missions provide excellent coverage.
As the Landsat Data Continuity Mission satellite flew over Indonesia's Flores Sea April 29, it captured an image of Paluweh volcano spewing ash into the air.
From its orbit around the Earth, the NASA-NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite or Suomi NPP satellite, captured a night-time image of California’s Springs Fire.
