The Science Directorate is a unique NASA organization devoted to
finding out how the earth and its atmosphere are interacting and
changing -- and what that means for the health of our planet and
our quality of life. We search for and create better ways of
gathering, measuring and analyzing atmospheric data so that we can
better understand and track the effects of human activity on the
atmosphere. We believe a healthy planet is possible if we act responsibly
based on what we know to be true.
What changes the climate?
Is the ozone layer thinning or recovering?
How do these changes impact public health, air quality and
our economic security?
The Science Directorate's Climate Science Branch and Chemistry and Dynamics
Branch work with our Atmospheric Science Data Center to study changes in the
Earth and its atmosphere. We translate those findings into meaningful knowledge
that inspires action -- by other scientists, policymakers, government agencies,
private enterprises, students and the general public.
