Welcome to the Earth Sciences Division
The Earth Sciences Division at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center plans, organizes, evaluates, and carries out a broad program of scientific research, both theoretical and experimental, to study the Earth. We are delighted you found us here and hope you will return many times to visit and experience the excitement we feel about our mission. Our mission ranges from basic research, to the definition and development of flight missions and instruments, to mission operations, data analysis, and distribution.
