We’ve teamed up with ISRO on the NISAR mission, a satellite that will measure changes on Earth’s surface in fine detail. Data from NISAR can help us better manage natural resources, and understand the pace and effects of climate change.

To study sea ice thickness, more than one view can help. NASA scientists spent two weeks flying above the Arctic with cutting-edge sensors aboard. When combined with satellite and on-the-ground measurements, the data helps us better understand how the region is changing.
