The Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) has recently deployed a new communications system, based on NASA technology, that is designed to aid emergency management professionals when natural or man-made disasters occur.
Recently observed change in Arctic temperatures and sea ice cover may be a harbinger of global climate changes to come, according to a recent NASA study.
The worldwide impact of a simultaneous reduction in Arctic sea-ice and considerable warming of the Arctic over the past 20 years is the topic of NASA's next Earth Science Update.
The Patagonia Icefields of Chile and Argentina, the largest non-Antarctic ice masses in the Southern Hemisphere, are thinning at an accelerating pace and now account for nearly 10 percent of global sea-level change from mountain glaciers, according to a new study by NASA and Chile's Centro de Estudios Cientificos.
NASA satellite observations show there has been considerable warming of the Arctic over the last two decades and a simultaneous retreat of Arctic sea-ice cover.
