The Satellite Helping Slow Climate Change — Right Now
7:35 | Meet MethaneSAT: the satellite circling Earth right now to track global emissions from methane.
This is The Methane Moment
2:30 | Slashing methane emissions as quickly as possible is the fastest way to slow global warming.
Are Earth’s carbon sinks changing?
3:28 | NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) satellites have found that carbon sinks might be changing.
CO2 and the City: Valentine’s Day Edition
1:40 | This Valentine’s Day, we look at CO₂ levels over the “City of Love” itself, Paris! Learn how NASA’s satellites track these data and keep us informed about one of our biggest crushes: Earth.
Gavin McCormick: Tracking the whole world’s carbon emissions — with satellites & AI
11:15 | If we really want to get serious about fighting climate change, we need a way to track carbon pollution in real-time and identify the worst culprits.
Powering the planet from space. Closer to reality than you think?
11:18 | Solar power stations in space. Sounds like pure science fiction doesn’t it?
Rising Waters: A Warmer World
1:10 | With satellites, airborne missions, shipboard measurements, and supercomputers, NASA has been investigating sea level rise for decades.
The surprising bias in climate satellites (and models)
16:41 | This video is about satellite measurements of the Earth’s climate, the climate models used by scientists, and why they both don’t line up with reality.
Chasing Methane : Big Brother is watching!
12:10 | Methane bubbling out of the arctic, accelerating the amplification of temperature rises in that region, plus a billion or so belching cows around the world spewing out millions of tons of CH4 every year. Are these the only culprits for increased methane?
Measuring from space
4:24 | Sarah Green explains how satellites monitor outgoing radiation to measure global warming. She concludes by busting the myth that CO2 must be unimportant in our atmosphere because it is only a trace gas.
Glory: Glory’s Suncatcher
3:19 | The Sun’s energy is one of the biggest forcings on Earth’s climate, and for years satellites have measured total solar irradiance.
The Road to Glory
6:51 | Glory is a unique research satellite. It collects data on the properties of aerosols and black carbon in the Earth’s atmosphere and data on solar irradiance for Earth’s long-term climate record.
