Oceans of Climate Change

Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich Launch footage

Karl and Seymour learn how carbon dioxide is formed in this sketch from The Lollygaggers, a global warming sketch comedy.

Sea levels across the globe are rising as a result of a changing climate — and the rate at which they are rising is accelerating. NASA Science Live was recorded Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2020, and featured...

The Argo stop-motion animation aims to inspire children (and adults) to engage with marine science. It is quirky, fun and informative at the same time. The animation explains what an Argo float is,...

For NASA JPL engineer Parag Vaze, studying Earth’s rising ocean has been a career three decades in the making.

TOPEX/Poseidon Ground Tracks

Global sea level rise is accelerating incrementally over time rather than increasing at a steady rate, as previously thought, according to a new study based on 25 years of NASA and European satelli...

On the left is Sea Surface Height Anomalies (SSHA) relative to the sea level mean (1993-2018). On the right is Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) with the sea level trend as the straight line. The data a...

A key ocean observation satellite has been named after Earth scientist Michael Freilich

Greenland and Antarctica are home to most of the world's glacial ice – including its only two ice sheets – making them areas of particular interest to scientists.

Jason-CS/Sentinel-6 - How they will work

NASA Climate Watcher Waves Goodbye

Jason-3 Animation

This visualization shows total sea level change between 1992 and 2019, based on data collected from the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, and Jason-3 satellites. Blue regions are where sea level ha...

Ice covers 10 percent of Earth's surface and helps moderate the planet's temperature.

El Niño/La Niña - (12/1996 - 01/2000)

Earth’s rising seas are some of the most visible signs of our warming planet. Over the last 23 years, NASA satellite missions have observed a steady rise in global sea levels as polar ice sheets me...

The ocean is responsible for Earth's mild climate and makes life on Earth possible for all creatures.

Watch the Jason-3 Science Briefing from Friday, Jan 15, 2016 - panelists discussed the science and research of the Jason-3 mission.

For over 20 years NASA has been tracking the global surface topography of the ocean in order to understand the important role it plays in our daily lives. Climate change is causing our Ocean to war...

For NASA engineer Shannon Statham, building spacecraft is all about being creative.
