We have some news: We’re moving!
We won’t be far. Join us @NASAClimate to keep up with sea level science and climate change from NASA’s perspective.
See you there!
During the exceptionally warm Arctic summer of 2019, Greenland lost 600 billion tons of ice—enough to raise global sea levels by nearly a tenth of an inch (2.2 millimeters) in just two months. Down south, West Antarctic mass loss continues unabated. https://t.co/uY5e4hFMdH
Observations from 11 satellite missions monitoring the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have revealed that the regions are losing ice six times faster than they were in the 1990s. https://t.co/sylIuOUZkR
Satellite data show that Antarctica and Greenland are losing hundreds of gigatonnes of (land-based) ice each year. But how big is just one gigatonne?
Look ⬇️ for answers (and cool visualizations)!

Observations and computer models paint a picture of a changing planet Earth; projections give a range of plausible future scenarios. A look at presentations by NASA sea-level scientists at a recent conference. From many voices, one theme: a changing planet https://t.co/dS9muk4ipr
We're saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. Today, we celebrate her 101 years of life and honor her legacy of excellence that broke down racial and social barriers: https://t.co/Tl3tsHAfYB
Some parts of the Mississippi River Delta are disappearing due to sea-level rise, while other parts are not. A new NASA campaign, Delta-X, will be collecting data by air and by boat to better understand why. https://t.co/9X91dx4Vnh
