  Remote Sensing Conceptual Animation
Glory is a unique research satellite designed to orbit the Earth and achieve two major goals. Glory’s first goal is to collect data on the properties of aerosols and black carbon in the Earth's atmosphere and climate system; its second goal is to collect data on solar irradiance for Earth’s long-term climate record. This seven-minute video introduces Glory’s science objectives, people, and instruments, and provides an overview of the Glory mission.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10521 Videographer

  Science for a Hungry World: Agriculture and Climate Change
One of the biggest changes to global agriculture is less about the food itself as it is about the water we use to grow it. In some areas, farmers are using freshwater resources - including groundwater - at an alarming rate. The GRACE satellites enable scientists to discover changes to underground aquifers by monitoring changes in the Earth's gravity. In northern India, farmers rely heavily on irrigation to grow crops, and the resulting massive aquifer depletion creates an uncertain future for the region. <p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10512 Narrator

  Science for a Hungry World: Growing Water Problems
Sea level rise is an indicator that our planet is warming. Much of the world's population lives on or near the coast, and rising seas are something worth watching. Sea level can rise for two reasons, both linked to a warming planet. When ice on land, such as mountain glaciers or the ice sheets of Greenland or Antarctica, melt, that water contributes to sea level rise. And when our oceans get warmer - another indicator of climate change - the water expands, also making sea level higher. Using satellites, lasers, and radar in space, and dedicated researchers on the ground, NASA is studying the Earth's ice and water to better understand how sea level rise might affect us all.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10503 Editor

  Arctic Sea Ice 101
Sea ice is frozen seawater floating on the surface of the ocean. Some sea ice is permanent, persisting from year to year, and some is seasonal, melting and refreezing from season to season. Each winter existing sea ice thickens and new, thinner ice is formed. This conceptual animation shows a cut-away view of the seasonal advance and retreat of Arctic sea ice, demonstrating the current trend toward a thinning ice pack, with less of the thicker multi-year ice surviving each summer's melt.   10492 Producer

Every day, NASA collects information vital to food production all over the world. This information is a valuable asset. NASA's mission: to give it away for free. With the data they collect, teams of NASA researchers and their partners at the USDA Foreign Agriculture Service, USAID Famine Early Warning Network (FEWS NET), NOAA, and several major universities including the University of Maryland, work to increase crop yields, ease famine, and keep the global agricultural system functioning.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10491 Editor

  Science For a Hungry World: NASA's Partners
As the first of six episodes, Science for a Hungry World: Part 1 sets the groundwork for explaining why NASA data is critical to ensure a stable global food system. This video reveals how satellite remote sensing data provide the world with essential information like the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, or NDVI, which allows scientists and governments to see the health of crops on a global scale. This video reinforces the idea that a unique perspective from space is essential for continuous global agricultural monitoring and accurate forecasting.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10490 Videographer
  Science For a Hungry World: Introduction
Water specialists Rick Allen, Bill Kramber and Tony Morse have created an innovative satellite-based method that maps agricultural water consumption. The team uses Landsat thermal band data to measure the amount of water evaporating from the soil and transpiring from plants' leaves. Evapotranspiring water absorbs energy, so farm fields consuming more water appear cooler in the thermal band. The Landsat observations provide an objective way for water managers to assess on a field-by-field basis how much water agricultural growers are using. Landsat is a joint program of NASA and the US Geological Survey.<p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10484 Narrator

  Guided Tour of LIMA Flyover
Nearly every spring since 1991, researchers including William Krabill of NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Va., have flown on a NASA aircraft over Greenland, collecting measurements of ice thickness from an altitude of about 2,000 feet. Now, on March 30, Krabill and colleagures return to collect updated measurements. This time, however, the mission is set to be more extensive than ever before, and takes place with new urgency. Radars and lasers new to the Greenland flights will be tested and calibrated with meaturements currently made from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat). Launched in January 2003, ICESat is already more than six years beyond its three-year design lifetime and should it come to an end, the NASA aircraft will be ready to bridge the gap until the launch of ICESat-II, planned for launch no earlier than 2014.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='/vis/a010000/a010400/a010414/GreenlandIceFlights_transcript.htm'>here</a>.   10414 Editor

  What Would have Happened to the Ozone Layer if Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) had not been Regulated?
The animation shows how, in the days leading up to March 14, 2008, pockets of rain fell between drought-ravaged areas that saw no rain, setting up boundaries of dry and moist air. These boundaries along with urban-rural land cover boundaries produce circulations and rising air similar to a sea breeze. They may also serve as localized regions of enhancement for existing storms or initiation of new storms. Modeling studies suggest that these boundaries may have been a factor in the storms that produced the Atlanta tornado.   10402 Producer

In October 2008, Goddard hosted The Discovery Channel's 'Young Scientist Challenge.' The challenge brought ten middle school student finalists from across the country to vie for the title of 'America's Top Young Scientist' and a chance to win a U.S. Savings Bond. Five teacher finalists contended for recognition as 'America's Top Science Teacher.' NASA scientists and educators helped design the activities, which both tested the communication skills of the students and celebrated 50 years of NASA space science.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='/vis/a010000/a010300/a010343/dysc_transcript1.htm'>here</a>.   10343 Videographer

Arctic sea ice declined this summer to its second smallest extent in the satellite era, suggesting that the record set in 2007 may not have been an anomaly. If recent trends in the melt rate continue, we could see a virtually ice-free Arctic each summer much sooner than previously thought.<p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='/vis/a010000/a010300/a010353/SeaIce2008_transcript.htm'>here</a>.<p>   10353 Editor
