Measuring the biomass of a mangrove forest

How much carbon dioxide can a tree absorb and store? That's a tough question to answer. A group from the University of Maryland and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center went to Pongara National Park in Gabon to gather data on a massive Mangrove forest: the structure of the trees, their thickness and density, and even the biomass below the ground. These data will help answer questions on carbon storage, coastline degradation, and help them compare to other mangrove forest structures around the

The June Heat-Wave of the American South West

In June 2017, the American south west experienced some of the hottest temperatures felt in a long time. It was hot enough to ground air planes, and even caused some deaths. NASA's Aqua satellite measured the temperature on the surface of the Earth during the heat wave, and here is some of the results.

Tracking a Crack in the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Scientists have been closely following the growth of a large crack in the Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula. From late 2016 until now, the crack has grown about 150 km long, accelerating in late June 2017. In these dark months, the most recent observations have been done by Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on Landsat 8. If the crack reaches the coast, which is just about 13 km away, the ice will begin to calve and could be the largest iceberg ever recorded.

Volcanoes Signaled the End for Dinosaurs

A study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has concluded that a mass extinction event allowed for the rise of the dinosaurs. At the end of the Triassic period, approximately 200 million years ago, a period of 'pulsed volcanism' radically changed the climate of Earth, leading to the eradication of many species. The vacant ecological niches led to the rise of the dinosaurs. The study relied on measuring the concentration of mercury levels in rocks from

Batagaika Crater Expands

The Batagaika Crater is not a crater at all, but a depression in northern Russia. It is being caused by the thawing of permafrost, and depressions like this are occurring all over the north. Batagaika is by far the largest depression. Its erosion has been documented by satellites, and now appears to have doubled in area since 1999. While depressions like this are a result of climate change, they also allow scientists to easily study things that were once buried.

The Snowpack in the Californian Mountains Quadruples

Apr 24, 2017
Data from NASA's Airborne Snow Observatory shows that the snowpack in the Tuolumne Basin of the Sierra Nevada mountains is 1.5 cubic kilometers, which is more than the previous 4 years combined. Californians are surely enjoying the extra precipitation, as they have been in a drought for the last 5 years. The Airborne Snow Observatory uses a combination of LIDAR and Imaging Spectrometer fixed to a small plane to measure the snowpack in the mountains of California.
