"NASA's Innovative Earth Day Climate Research Initiatives"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Science@NASA
NASA has chosen six new airborne missions to study various aspects of Earth and climate change, including fire-induced clouds, Arctic coastal change, air quality, landslide hazards, shrinking glaciers, and emissions from agricultural lands. These missions, funded through NASA's Earth Venture program, aim to provide finer detail measurements than satellites and complement satellite observations. The selected missions will receive roughly $120 million in funding and will be carried out between 2026 and 2029, with a focus on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the teams.
