  Remote Sensing Conceptual Animation
How will climate change impact agriculture? This episode explores the need for accurate, continuous and accessible data and computer models to track and predict the challenges farmers face as they adjust to a changing climate.<p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10516 Animator
  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 Animator
  Science for a Hungry World: Growing Water Problems
Sponsored by USAID, the Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWS NET) was designed to help governments and aid agencies assess the need for food aid before a famine develops. This episode describes FEWS NET and looks at how FEWS NET uses NASA data to make decisions on the ground.<p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10500 Animator
  Science for a Hungry World: Food Security
This animation shows one molecule of water completing the hydrologic cycle. Heat from the sun causes the molecule to evaporate from the ocean's surface. Once it evaporates, it is transported high in the atmosphere and condenses to form clouds. Clouds can move great distances and eventually the water molecule will fall as rain or snow. Ultimately, the water molecule arrives back where it started...at the ocean.   10501 Animator
  The Water Cycle
Water is all around us, and its importance to nearly every natural process on earth cannot be underestimated. The water cycle is the movement of water around the Earth in all its forms, from the ocean to the atmosphere, to snow, soil, aquifers, lakes, and streams on land, and ultimately backs to the ocean. This video explains what the water cycle is and how important it is to life on earth.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10509 Animator
  Water, Water Everywhere!
Carbon is all around us. This unique atom is the basic building block of life, and its compounds form solids, liquids, or gases. Carbon helps form the bodies of living organisms; it dissolves in the ocean; mixes in the atmosphere; and can be stored in the crust of the planet. A carbon atom could spend millions of years moving through this complex cycle. The ocean plays the most critical role in regulating Earth's carbon balance, and understanding how the carbon cycle is changing is key to understanding Earth's changing climate. <p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10498 Animator
  Keeping Up With Carbon
Carbon is the basic building block of life, and these unique atoms are found everywhere on Earth. Carbon makes up Earth's plants and animals, and is also stored in the ocean, the atmosphere, and the crust of the planet. A carbon atom could spend millions of years moving through Earth in a complex cycle. This conceptual animation provides an illustration of the various parts of the Carbon cycle. Purple arrows indicate the uptake of Carbon; yellow arrows indicate the release of Carbon. <p>   10494 Animator
  The Carbon Cycle
NASA remote sensing data is used to measure how much land is used for agriculture and where farms are in relation to population density. This episode explore the transition between native vegetation, farms, and cities. Satellites show where land use changes have been most significant.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10496 Animator
  Science for a Hungry World: Land Cover Land Use Change
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 Animator
  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 Animator

  Feeling the Sting of Climate Change
This short animation illustrates two scenarios. The first depicts plants blooming at the same time bees emerge to forage for nectar and pollen. The second depicts an earlier bloom, where flowers bloom before bees are ready to forage. The flowers miss out on getting pollinated, and the bees miss their chance to gather nectar and pollen.   10482 Animator

Designed exclusively for playback on spherical projections surfaces, FROZEN introduces mainstream audiences to the cryosphere--places on Earth where the temperatures don't rise above water's freezing point. The following trailer showcases some of the visual themes contained in the movie and points to the film's main website.<p><p>This film has been prepared exclusively for playback on spherical projections systems. It will not appear in its proper format on a traditional computer or television screen.

  FROZEN: A Spherical Movie About the Cryosphere
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 Animator
