New research shows that safeguarding species and ecosystems and the benefits they provide for society against future climatic change requires effective solutions which can only be formulated from reliable forecasts.

Correctly simulating ocean current variations hundreds of feet below the ocean surface—the so-called Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent—during El Niño events is key in reducing the uncertainty of predictions of future warming in the eastern tropical Pacific. 

Global warming is dramatically increasing the risk of extreme hurricanes in the Caribbean, but meeting more ambitious climate change goals could up to halve the likelihood of such disasters in the region, according to new research.

Scientists have long suspected that ocean acidification is affecting corals’ ability to build their skeletons, but it has been challenging to isolate its effect from that of simultaneous warming ocean temperatures, which also influence coral growth. 

Just as a living organism continually needs food to maintain itself, an economy consumes energy to do work and keep things going. 

Many NASA assets were used to provide forecasters with information to incorporate into their analysis of Hurricane Laura.

NASA infrared imagery shows that newly formed Tropical Storm Iselle is already battling for its life under wind shear.

NASA’s Terra satellite captured visible imagery as Tropical Storm Bavi made landfall in northwestern North Korea and moved inland.

HRRR-Smoke is particularly valuable for notifying those downwind of a fire about what’s headed their way.

The supervisor of Texas A&M's urban resilience lab says that Hurricane Laura and ongoing wildfires are compounding the risks of the virus.
