NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS)

The NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is a research center in New York City focused on understanding Earth's climate and how it changes over time. Scientists at GISS study climate patterns, develop computer models to predict future climate scenarios, and analyze data on Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces. Their work helps inform public policy and improve our understanding of climate change and its potential impacts on ecosystems and society. GISS plays a crucial role in advancing climate science and supporting NASA's broader mission to explore and understand our planet and beyond.
