Over 14 years of spaceborne observations, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission tracked the movement of freshwater around the world. Wet areas got wetter and dry areas drier, caused by factors like human activity, climate change and natural weather cycles. Scientists combined GRACE data with measurements from other satellites, like Landsat and the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, to determine the causes of some of these changes. For example, agricultural acti

See Earth through our eyes. 🌎 From land, air, and space, NASA studies our home planet to improve life on Earth. Happy #EarthDay! NASA’s Earth science missions help us respond to challenges, such as fires, hurricanes, and water shortages. These projects provide crucial data to help local, federal, and international governments as they support their communities.
