NASA's Earth Science Division

NASA's Earth Science Division studies our planet's atmosphere, land, oceans, and ice to better understand how they interact and change over time. Using satellites, airborne instruments, and ground-based observations, they monitor climate trends, weather patterns, natural hazards, and environmental health. Their goal is to provide accurate data and insights that inform policies, help prepare for extreme weather, and promote sustainable management of Earth's resources. By understanding Earth's systems, NASA supports efforts to protect the planet and address environmental challenges through science and innovation.
