A new C02 laser, which will globally measure carbon dioxide from space, is due to be launched in 2023 on the ASCENDS mission. One of the exciting things about this project is that you can actually watch trees eat and breathe. Of...

How does carbon get into the oceans, and how much is in there?

A USDA researcher is studying how climate change could affect the production of one of the world's most consumed foods.

This program provides an introduction to chemistry. We begin by discussing how chemistry touches every part of everyday life and give several examples of basic chemical reactions that students come into contact with regularly. The entire...

As our series concludes, we ask NASA researchers: how will climate change impact agriculture? <b<br/>r/>

This video is answering the question of what is a carbon sink.

The video discusses displacement reactions and their relation to the reactivity series. The presenter gives examples of experiments involving metals and non-metals and explains how the more reactive metal will displace the less reactive...

The decade from 2000 to 2009 was the warmest in the modern record. "Piecing Together the Temperature Puzzle" illustrates how NASA satellites enable us to study possible causes of climate change. The video explains what role fluctuations...

One of the primary instruments on NASA's Aqua spacecraft is the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), which is providing a detailed three-dimensional view of the atmosphere. This new view is helping scientists to better understand the...

Rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are driving changes in Earth’s climate. But scientists are still trying to answer important questions about how carbon dioxide emissions get absorbed by the land and the ocean — and how...

A comprehensive video English lesson looking at the vocabulary associated with trees. New vocabulary is coupled with appropriate imagery to make understanding and memorisation as easy as possible for the student. The video is narrated by...

Ancient riverbeds, crater lakes and flood channels all attest to Mars's warm, watery past. So how did the Red Planet evolve from a once hospitable world into the cold, dry desert that we see today? One possibility is that Mars lost...

We are trying to design a way to power vehicles of the future by using the hydrogen that is stored as a fuel cell for Motor Vehicles in order to obtain energy for the vehicle we need to rejoin the hydrogen with oxygen and this is done...

As higher amounts of carbon dioxide become absorbed by the oceans, some marine organisms are finding it's a struggle to adjust.



The Changing Planet series explores the impact that climate change is having on our planet, and...

The atmosphere is dynamic and forever changing to maintain balance. The ingredients of air, sunlight and water allow life to exist on Earth, but they also generate calm scenes like rainbows, as a tornado ends. All storms move moisture,...

Learn the basics about collecting and identifying gases? what are the methods and techniques used, and why is it done? Find out more in this video!

Learn the basics about Extraction of oxygen and nitrogen from liquid air. How do you extract oxygen? What are nitogren's properties? Find out more in this video!

What are microorganisms? They are microscopic organisms or tiny living things. Microorganisms can cause diseases, but in this video we are going to learn about how they are useful to us, specifically in making alcohol.

New research led by NASA researchers has found populations of the microscopic marine plants, phytoplankton, have decreased in the Northern Hemisphere. An analysis using a NASA model in combination with ocean satellite data between...

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has the largest collection of Earth scientists on the planet. Their job is to be the nation's trusted source of comprehensive environmental information about the current state and the...

Rhode Island EPSCoR studies reveal key details about the life cycle of macroalgal blooms that impact ecosystems, economies



Description: When the water along Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay is thick and green, it...

In this video, we learn about the crucial process of photosynthesis in plants. Through photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into sugar and oxygen. This process not only provides food for plants but also...

The year 2014 now ranks as the warmest on record since 1880, according to an analysis by NASA scientists.



Nine of the 10 warmest years since modern records began have now occurred since 2000, according to a global...
