GISS Publications

These database pages list over 3400 publications authored or co-authored by NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies scientists and colleagues since the institute was founded in 1961. The bulk of the entries are refereed journal articles, but the database also includes conference proceedings papers, tech notes, book chapters, graduate student dissertations, and other research publications. The database is not complete but is almost so for the years after 1990. Copies of many publications are available in PDF form; otherwise, entries are citation-and-abstract-only. Some listings also include links to related news releases or non-technical science briefs describing the research.

Some paper PDFs provided here may differ from the published form, most likely because they include typographical corrections made post-publication. Unless otherwise indicated, the published document is the version intended by the author(s). For more information, please read the help page.

Note: Search uses an implicit OR on your keywords, so entering "global warming" above would search the database for those two words, together and separately. Search only examines publication citations, including abstracts, but not publication texts. Search keywords must be at least four characters long each.
