  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 Editor

  Science for a Hungry World: Growing Water Problems
We know climate change can affect us, but does climate change alter something as vast, deep and mysterious as our oceans? For years, scientists have studied the world's oceans by sending out ships and divers, deploying data-gathering buoys, and by taking aerial measurements from planes. But one of the better ways to understand oceans is to gain an even broader perspective - the view from space. NASA's Earth observing satellites do more than just take pictures of our planet. High-tech sensors gather data, including ocean surface temperature, surface winds, sea level, circulation, and even marine life. Information the satellites obtain help us understand the complex interactions driving the world's oceans today - and gain valuable insight into how the impacts of climate change on oceans might affect us on dry land.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10502 Editor

  Climate Change and the Global Ocean
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 Videographer
  Science for a Hungry World: Food Security
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 Videographer
  Science for a Hungry World: Land Cover Land Use Change
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 Producer

  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 Producer

  Landsat: A Space Age Water Gauge
In this animation, the first image shows an agricultural region in Idaho on August 14, 2000, captured in the visible spectrum. The round, green circles are irrigated farm fields. The second image, using Landsat's thermal band, depicts cooler and warmer areas. Irrigated fields appear cooler because evapotranspiring water absorbs energy and cools the fields. The thermal image dissolves into a map of evapotranspiration, created using the METRIC tool.   3632 Producer

  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 Producer

Satellite data showing the annual variation in vegetation is combined with a graph of hive weight for a beehive in Highland, Maryland.   3625 Producer
