Goddard Institute for Space Studies

The Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is a research center affiliated with NASA and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Located in New York City, GISS studies Earth's climate, atmospheric physics, and planetary science. Its scientists analyze data from satellites, climate models, and observations to understand climate change, weather patterns, and the Earth's environment. By researching these areas, GISS helps inform public policy and promotes awareness of environmental issues, contributing to our understanding of how human activities impact the planet's climate system.
