Climate Change Education with NJ Climate Educators & My NASA Data

Climate Change Education with NJ Climate Educators & My NASA Data


On 01/20/2022, NASA Langley’s Elizabeth Joyner presented My NASA Data to 36 New Jersey teachers from grades 4-12 enrolled in the Montclair State University's Climate Science Program. Joyner showcased My NASA Data resources that incorporate NASA Earth data and hands-on activities modeling what can be done in the classroom with students. This climate education program is designed to prepare and support teachers as they teach New Jersey state science standards's climate change content. Through a variety of presentations and workshops, teachers develop their content knowledge about climate science and the interdisciplinary components of understanding Earth's changing climate. Teachers work collaboratively to develop and test lessons that incorporate professionally collected data from NASA that address climate science with their students. (Award No. NNX16AC54A)

International SWOT Mission Can Improve Flood Prediction

A partnership between NASA and the French space agency, the satellite is poised to help improve forecasts of where and when flooding will occur in Earth’s rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Rivers, lakes, and reservoirs are like our planet’s arteries, carrying life-sustaining water in interconnected networks. When Earth’s water cycle runs too fast, flooding can result, […]

A tiled collection of logos for Zooniverse projects. Each logo consists of a square containing two concentric circles formed of thick lines plus a diagonal slash. The colors, textures, backgrounds (and sometimes foregrounds) of each logo are customized for each project. For example, a project about penguins features photographs of penguins in its logo.

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.
