- NASA Watches Wyoming Wildfire July 30, 2001
A NASA instrument has captured images of the wildfire burning through Bridger-Teton National Forest in the northwest part of Wyoming.
- Space View Shows Two Plumes from Mt. Etna Eruption July 25, 2001
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.
- CLAMS Studies Ocean and Atmosphere for NASA July 24, 2001
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.
- Goes-M Environmental Spacecraft Successfully Launched July 23, 2001
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.
- New Nasa Supercomputer Models Earth Climate at Warp Speed July 18, 2001
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.
- Climate Change in Atlantic Larger than Previously Thought July 16, 2001
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.
- Solar Activity May Be Linked to Cloudiness Over US July 12, 2001
NASA-funded Earth Science researchers have discovered that during periods of increased solar activity much of the United States becomes cloudier.
- New Quantum Gyro May Help Measure Earth's Rotation July 5, 2001
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.
- NASA Selects Proposals to Study Earth's Environment July 3, 2001
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."
- Philadelphia in Red, White and Blue July 2, 2001
This image taken by the spaceborne Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer instrument on NASA's Terra satellite shows the northeastern United States, including Philadelphia, with red, white and blue hues.
