Students analyze Landsat images of Atlanta, Georgia to explore the relationship between surface temperature and vegetation.
An environmental planner tries to minimize the environmental impacts of housing, industrial, and transportation-related construction projects. Environmental planners help project managers navigate the environmental permitting process where they review a site to investigate potential environmental effects. This includes the effects of natural disasters.
Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.
Charles Gatebe is a climate scientist who studies reflected sunlight to improve our understanding of the composition of the atmosphere and surface properties, including land and ocean, and impact on Earth's radiation budget and climate. Learn about how he conducts experiments and uses data from around the world.
My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, StoryMaps, for use in educational settings.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
Helping students build their understanding of Earth's spheres and how they are connected is difficult. Review the graphics to help identify the parts of the Earth System and the processes that connect them at the local, regional, and global scales.
Be a Scientist: The GLOBE Program encourages you to use GLOBE data to help answer questions about how the environment works. Through research projects, you can answer your own science questions by creating hypotheses, analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and sharing your results. Scientific projects that you conduct and that include the use of GLOBE data or protocols can be submitted by your teacher for publication on this GLOBE website. By sharing your findings with the rest of the world you are completing the scientific process.
NASA Worldview is a free online visualization tool that is a great launchpad for learners who are new (or veteran) users of satellite data.
