Infiniscope & AGU Collaborate to Transform Earth & Space Science Education

Infiniscope & AGU Collaborate to Transform Earth & Space Science Education


Infiniscope and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) are combining efforts to transform Earth and Space Science (ESS) in K12 education. The effort begins by raising awareness with the AGU community at the annual Fall Meeting, held December 6 - 14, 2021 both virtually and in-person. During the two weeks, Infiniscope shared efforts to bring ESS and NASA expertise into schools struggling to integrate this core content and using innovative technology to expand reach. These efforts included a Town Hall presentation, featuring educators, NASA leadership, and California leadership, with over 80 live participants; a NASA Hyperwall presentation showcasing the effort; sharing the technology tool Tour It with NASA booth attendees; and five presentations showcasing the Tour It tool, place-based learning strategies with the tool, and plans for ESS in K12.

NASA-Led Study Provides New Global Accounting of Earth’s Rivers

The novel approach to estimating river water storage and discharge also identifies regions marked by ‘fingerprints’ of intense water use. A study led by NASA researchers provides new estimates of how much water courses through Earth’s rivers, the rates at which it’s flowing into the ocean, and how much both of those figures have fluctuated […]

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
