NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) provides long-term data records that can help with climate research.

From warmer ocean temperatures to longer and more intense droughts and heat waves, climate change is affecting our entire planet.

A new study by Simon Fraser University historical ecologists finds that Indigenous-managed forests—cared for as “forest gardens”—contain more biologically and functionally diverse species than surrounding conifer-dominated forests and create important habitat for animals and pollinators. The findings are published today in Ecology and Society.

Climate change is driving some fish into cooler, deeper waters. Now they may be faced with another challenge: how to make sense of a world drained of color.

The effects of the steadily increasing amount of plastic in the ocean are complex and not yet fully understood.

Oceans play a vital role in taking the heat out of climate change, but at a cost.

Scientists harness satellite data to help farmers use less water in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

Everything on our planet is connected by the various chemical, physical and biological processes that make up what we call the Earth system.

Scientists study how Antarctic seals and penguins react to drones versus ground surveys.

Water touches virtually every aspect of human society, and all life on earth requires it. Yet, fresh, clean water is becoming increasingly scarce — one in eight people on the planet lack access to clean water.
