The peninsula extends about 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the mainland of southern Massachusetts where it serves as a natural land barrier between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. 

Adding to the grim list of record ice losses, record air temperatures and record droughts, which have all hit the headlines recently, the temperature of the surface waters of our oceans is also at an all-time high.

Popocatépetl is one of Mexico’s most active volcanoes. During the mountain’s current period of eruption, ongoing since 2005, volcanic emissions frequently billow from its summit crater.

Greenland lacks an obvious human fingerprint when viewed from space. Instead of sprawling cities or geometrically organized agriculture, an enormous ice sheet spans much of the island.

For more than a month, Tropical Cyclone Freddy has cast about in the Indian Ocean, bringing powerful winds and downpours to anything in its long and wandering path.

Across NASA, researchers are conducting Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) studies that will transform U.S. communities, creating new ways to move people and goods in the sky. The data and AI-based decision-support tools enabled by the Data & Reasoning Fabric concept will help further the AAM community’s goals by providing information needed for future flight operations.

Following the magnitude 7.8 and 7.5 earthquakes that struck southern Turkey and western Syria Feb. 6, 2023, NASA is working to share its aerial views and data from space in ways that can aid relief and recovery workers in the region as well as improve its ability to model and predict such events.
