NASA Space Mission takes stock of carbon dioxide emissions by countries
🛰️ The study provides a new perspective by tracking both fossil fuel emissions and the total carbon “stock” changes in ecosystems, including trees, shrubs, and soils.
🛰️ The data is particularly useful for tracking carbon dioxide fluctuations related to land cover change.

Scientists use NASA satellite data to determine Belize Coral Reef risk
🌊 In a study published in Frontiers in Remote Sensing, the scientists ranked 24 marine protected areas off the Belize coast based on the risks coral face from murky water and rising temperatures.
🌊 The study also outlined how researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and counterparts in Belize used free, cloud-based data on Google Earth Engine in their analysis.

NASA uses 30-Year satellite record to track and project rising seas
🌊 The annual rate of rise increased from 0.08 inches (0.20 centimeters) per year in 1993 to 0.17 inches (0.44 centimeters) per year in 2022.
🌊 Based on the long-term satellite measurements, the projected rate of sea level rise will hit 0.26 inches (0.66 centimeters) per year by 2050.

SpaceX launches Intelsat 40e with NASA’s TEMPO instrument
🛰️ TEMPO will provide hourly, daytime measurements of air quality in North America. It will monitor three main pollutants and reveal disparities in exposure in our cities and communities.
