Some parts of the Mississippi River Delta are disappearing due to sea-level rise, while other parts are not. A new NASA campaign, Delta-X, will be collecting data by air and by boat to better understand why. sealevel.nasa.gov/news/181/nasa-…

We're saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. Today, we celebrate her 101 years of life and honor her legacy of excellence that broke down racial and social barriers: go.nasa.gov/2SUMtN2

Observations and computer models paint a picture of a changing planet Earth; projections give a range of plausible future scenarios. A look at presentations by NASA sea-level scientists at a recent conference. From many voices, one theme: a changing planet sealevel.nasa.gov/news/182/from-…

🌎🗓 T-50 days until #EarthDay50 This year, we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of #EarthDay. 🎉 Since the very beginning, NASA has looked back to our home planet 🌎, helping solve environmental challenges and understand this beautiful, complex world. go.nasa.gov/2uLE4SC

Satellite data show that Antarctica and Greenland are losing hundreds of gigatonnes of (land-based) ice each year. But how big is just one gigatonne? Look ⬇️ for answers (and cool visualizations)! climate.nasa.gov/news/2933/visu…

Observations from 11 satellite missions monitoring the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have revealed that the regions are losing ice six times faster than they were in the 1990s. sealevel.nasa.gov/news/183/green…

During the exceptionally warm Arctic summer of 2019, Greenland lost 600 billion tons of ice—enough to raise global sea levels by nearly a tenth of an inch (2.2 millimeters) in just two months. Down south, West Antarctic mass loss continues unabated. sealevel.nasa.gov/news/184/grace…
