Climate Science
1 reportClimate Science studies long-term change in the atmosphere, oceans, ice, land, and carbon cycle using observations and models. Current understanding relies on climate observations, carbon cycle, and cryosphere change, with uncertainty tracked across measurement, classification, and reconstruction.
Atmospheric dynamics, paleoclimate records, and Earth system models provide separate checks. Together they examine which uncertainties remain and how human influence is attributed, showing how sparse measurements or incomplete records limit certainty.

Glaciers Observed Flowing Down the Himalayas from Space
A NASA astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured detailed images of glaciers moving across the Himalayas, providing a rare perspective on the scale and dynamics of these ice flows as they descend toward the Tibetan Plateau
