Winter sea ice cover in the Arctic was the lowest it’s ever been at its annual peak on March 22, 2025, according to NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado, Boulder. At…
Editor’s Note: This article was updated March 27, 2025, to reflect the final dates for the testing period. NASA researchers conducted initial validation of a new airspace management system designed to enable crews to use aircraft to fight and monitor…
For many plant species, flowering is biologically synced with the seasons. Scientists are clocking blooms to understand our ever-changing planet. NASA research is revealing there’s more to flowers than meets the human eye. A recent analysis of wildflowers in California…
NASA’s radar-equipped jet is detecting ground movements to track snowmelt's journey into California's depleted groundwater aquifers.
More accurate maps based on data from the SWOT mission can improve underwater navigation and result in greater knowledge of how heat and life move around the world’s ocean. There are better maps of the Moon’s surface than of the…
Florida’s coastal wetlands face new threats as sea levels and temperatures climb. NASA’s BlueFlux Campaign is developing a new, satellite-based data product that could shape efforts to protect their future.
In the Florida Everglades, NASA’s BlueFlux Campaign investigates the relationship between tropical wetlands and greenhouse gases.
Last year’s increase was due to an unusual amount of ocean warming, combined with meltwater from land-based ice such as glaciers. Global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024, mostly because of ocean water expanding as it warms, or…
Since its launch on March 12, 2015, NASA’s MMS, or Magnetospheric Multiscale, mission has been rewriting our understanding of a key physical process that is important across the universe, from black holes to the Sun to Earth’s protective magnetic field.…
Data from the NISAR satellite will be used to map crop growth, track plant health, and monitor soil moisture — offering detailed, timely information for decision making. When it launches this year, the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite will…
