Earth Science Division

The Earth Science Division is a part of NASA that studies our planet’s natural systems, including the atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice. Their work helps us understand Earth's climate, weather patterns, natural resources, and environmental changes. By using satellites, airplanes, and other tools, they gather data to monitor phenomena like hurricanes, sea level rise, and earthquakes. This research improves natural disaster prediction, informs environmental policies, and increases our overall knowledge of Earth's processes, ultimately helping us better manage and protect our planet for future generations.
