A new analysis of the temporary slowdown seen in Earth's global average surface temperature warming trend between 1998 and 2013 concludes Earth’s ocean absorbed the extra heat.

October 2016 was the second warmest October in 136 years of modern record-keeping, according to a monthly analysis of global temperatures by scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS).

Operation IceBridge, NASA’s airborne survey of changes in polar ice, is closing in on the end of its eighth consecutive Antarctic deployment.

After Hurricane Sandy rocked the U.S. East Coast in 2012, the New York City government set out to repair the city — and asked for NASA’s help.

A large cyclone brought so much heat and humidity to the frigid, dry Arctic in December 2015 that it thinned and shank the sea ice cover during the time of the year when it should have been growing thicker and stronger.

The first of two satellites has been completed for a follow-on to NASA's GRACE mission.

The Getz Ice Shelf has experienced some of the highest basal melt rates of the Antarctic ice shelves. The flight over it is just one of a number of key areas flown during the IceBridge campaign.

NASA is launching six next-generation, Earth-observing small satellite missions to demonstrate innovative approaches for studying our changing planet.

The Arctic’s oldest and thickest ice has been thinning or melting away over the past decades, leaving the sea ice cap more vulnerable to the warming ocean and atmosphere.

Scientists have produced the first global maps of human emissions of carbon dioxide ever made solely from satellite observations, using data from NASA's OCO-2.

“Orbit,” an educational experience, lets the public explore satellites through sound.

Two new studies offer a direct view of rapid melting from the undersides of glaciers in West Antarctica, with implications for future rates of global sea level rise.

A NASA plane carrying scientists and sophisticated instruments is back at the southern tip of the planet to study how Antarctic ice is evolving in a changing environment.

A new NASA/university study finds tide gauges, the longest, best-quality historical records of ocean water levels, may have underestimated 20th century global sea level rise.

September 2016 was the warmest September in 136 years of modern record-keeping, according to a monthly analysis of global temperatures by scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.
