Space View Shows Two Plumes from Mt. Etna Eruption
July 25 — Two volcanic plumes from Mt. Etna composed of different materials are visible in new images from NASA's Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) on the Terra satellite. More

CLAMS Studies Ocean and Atmosphere for NASA
July 24 — NASA scientists are using a Virginia lighthouse, research aircraft and a satellite for a unique field study this summer. On the sea, in the sky, and from outer space, they are hoping for a better understanding of global climate change. More

Goes-M Environmental Spacecraft Successfully Launched
July 23 — An advanced environmental satellite equipped with instruments to monitor Earth's weather and with a telescope that will be used to detect solar storms soared into space this morning at 3:23:01 a.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. More

New Nasa Supercomputer Models Earth Climate at Warp Speed
July 18 — A new supercomputer, which may be the most powerful computer of its kind, will greatly increase scientists' ability to evaluate both natural and human-induced impacts on Earth's climate. More

Climate Change in Atlantic Larger than Previously Thought
July 16 — A NASA satellite confirms that overturning in the North Atlantic Ocean - a process where surface water sinks and deep water rises due to varying water densities - speeds up and slows down by 20 to 30 percent over 12 to 14 year cycles. More

Solar Activity May Be Linked to Cloudiness Over US
July 12 — NASA-funded Earth Science researchers have discovered that during periods of increased solar activity much of the United States becomes cloudier. More

New Quantum Gyro May Help Measure Earth's Rotation
July 5 — NASA-funded scientists at the University of California at Berkeley discovered that a special container manipulated with ultra-cold liquid helium-3 whistled based on its orientation to the North Pole and the Earth's rotation. The discovery may someday help measure how clouds and earthquakes change the speed of Earth's rotation. More

NASA Selects Proposals to Study Earth's Environment
July 3 — 80 NASA research grants valued at around $50 million over the next three years will look at everything from forest health in the U.S. to the role oceans play as the planet's "air filters." More
