Test your knowledge of sea level rise and its effect on global populations.
Test your knowledge of sea level rise and its effect on global populations.
The ocean's surface is not level, and sea levels change in response to changes in chemistry and temperature. Sophisticated satellite measurements are required for scientists to document current sea level rise.
Check out the Arctic and Earth SIGNs video to explore how climate models are used in climate change research.
In this activity, students use satellite images from the NASA Landsat team to quantify changes in glacier cover over time from 1986 to 2018.
Hands-on demonstration of the El Niño Effect, trade winds, and upwelling provided by NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab.
Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
