NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies

The NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is a research center focused on understanding Earth's climate and climate change, as well as studying planetary atmospheres and space science. Located in New York City and operated by NASA, it analyzes satellite data, conducts climate modeling, and investigates how human activities influence global temperatures and environmental systems. GISS's work helps inform policy decisions and advance scientific knowledge about Earth's climate future and our place in the universe.
