Geology

From the unique vantage point in space, NASA collects critical long-term observations of our changing planet.

Earth Observatory’s mission is to share with the public the images, stories, and discoveries about the environment, Earth systems, and climate that emerge from NASA research, including its satellite missions, in-the-field research, and models.

Paleo Perspectives describe the long-term climate record derived from paleoclimatology data for time periods that pre-date the instrumental measurements used for modern weather and climate analysis.

U.S. Geological Survey's Climate R&D Program integrates geologic and instrumental climate to understand and anticipate potential timing and range of future change and the impacts on marine and terrestrial systems and society.
