An international team of scientists has used artificial intelligence and commercial satellites to identify an unexpectedly large number of trees spread across arid and semi-arid areas.

Dune fields of interest to scientists who study the Red Planet stand out in the Kobuk Valley amid a backdrop of green.

Human-produced noise and light pollution is troublesome to our avian neighbors, according to new research from a team at California Polytechnic State University, published Nov. 11 in Nature.

A towering thunder cloud stands at the intersection of moist tropical air and dry, dusty plumes.

Tidal swings here are greater than at any other place on the east coast of Australia.

Seasonal cues, such as warmer spring temperatures or cooler temperatures in the fall, tell animals when to migrate, when to mate, and when and where to find food. Predators and prey, birds and mammals alike follow this natural schedule, and an overall shift of just a few days or weeks could have... Read More

Using computer models to generate a COVID-free 2020 for comparison, NASA researchers found that since February, pandemic restrictions have reduced global nitrogen dioxide concentrations by nearly 20%.

Scientists watch as A-68A, currently the planet’s largest iceberg, approaches a remote island in the southern Atlantic Ocean.

A new study tracing the sources of carbon dioxide, the most significant human-generated greenhouse gas, reveals the unexpectedly large influence of vegetation in urban environments.

NASA is targeting 12:17 p.m. EST (9:17 a.m. PST) Saturday, Nov. 21, for the launch of the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, the first of two identical satellites to head into Earth orbit five years apart to continue sea level observations for at least the next decade.

After a long and meandering journey over Central America, across central Cuba and through the Florida Keys, Eta, the 28th named storm and 12th hurricane of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, wound up nearly stationary as a moderate tropical storm in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico just north of...

There are no direct global-scale observations of carbon fluxes between the land and oceans and the overlying atmosphere. Understanding the carbon cycle requires estimates of these fluxes, which can be computed indirectly using models constrained with global space-based observations that provide... Read More

NASA/JAXA's GPM Satellite flew over Tropical Storm Eta as it made landfall over the Florida Keys on the evening of Sunday November 8th 2020 at approximately 11:41pm EST (11/9/2020 4:41 UTC). Eta lashed the Florida coast with approximately 65 mph winds. In this instance in time, some of Eta... Read More
