NASA's Earth Observing System

Below is a collection of QuickTime movies of data animations, satellite fly-bys, and PowerPoint presentations by senior EOS Scientists. These have been shown at scientific conferences and other high-level program meetings around the world. The presentations can be very large and will require Microsoft's PowerPoint software to view them (documents with the .ppt extension). For some presentations you may also need Apple's QuickTime movie player*.

These presentations may be freely reused without copyright restrictions. Click the title of the presentation to download it.
