EPA Goal 1: Climate Change and Improving Air Quality

Earth System Science Research

Purpose
The purpose of NASA's Earth science program is to develop a scientific understanding of Earth's system and its response to natural or human-induced changes, and to improve prediction of climate, weather, and natural hazards.

NASA continues to lead the international scientific community to advance global integrated Earth system science using space-based observations. The research encompasses: the global atmosphere; the global oceans including sea ice; land surfaces including snow and ice; ecosystems; and interactions among the atmosphere, oceans, land and ecosystems, including humans.
