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

NASA and its partners announced the renaming of the mission, previously known as Sentinel-6A/Jason-CS.

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...
