  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 Videographer
  Science for a Hungry World: Growing Water Problems
This image shows land in grey, water in blue, the worldwide croplands region as designated by NASA's MODIS instrument in yellow, and the drought regions in brown. Drought data is aggregate data from 2005 till 2009.   3651 Producer
  World Droughts from 2005 to 2009 versus where Crops are Grown
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 Editor

  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 Producer
  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 Editor

  Water, Water Everywhere!
The countries that produced 82% of the world's cereals (grain,oats,wheat,rice,maize, millet, sorghum) in 2008 are shown in yellow and the world population is shown in brown. This version of the image does not have topography.   3649 Producer

  Food Insecure Countries
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 Editor

This visualization cycles throught Global Crop Intensity data, MODIS croplands data, FAS Crop Production data, and the United Nations Projected Population in 2050 data. This version is labeled.   3646 Producer
  2009 Crop Intensity, 2009 Producers, and 2050 Projected Population
This animation shows the flows of atmospheric water vapor over Asia.   3643 Producer
  Hourly Atmospheric Water Vapor from the GEOS-5 Model
This animation shows global evaporation with a clock inset showing the day/night cycle.   3644 Producer
  Hourly Evaporation from the GEOS-5 Model
This animation displays the intensity of precipitation as it flows around the globe, showing heavy precipitation in orange/yellow, medium in blue/green and light precipitation in purple.   3645 Producer
  Hourly Total Precipitation from the GEOS-5 Model
This animation displays the intensity of precipitation as it flows around the globe, showing heavy precipitation in orange/yellow and light precipitation in purple.   3648 Producer
  Components of the Water Cycle
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 Narrator

  Science For a Hungry World: Introduction
The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument on board NASA's LRO spacecraft will be responsible for building the highest detail topography currently available of the lunar terrain. In this video David Smith, LOLA's Principal Investigator, explains how this technology works.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10486 Videographer
  LOLA: Defining the Lunar Terrain
This animation zooms into Rondonia, Brazil. It starts with a Landsat image taken in 1975 and dissolves into a second image of the same region taken in 2009. There has been a significant amount of land use change.   3637 Producer
  Deforestation of Rondonia, Brazil from 1975 to 2009
This visualization shows Crop Intensity data (regions that produce the most crops), followed by the MODIS croplands product, the 26 countries that produce 82% of the world's food, the population density in 2002 and finally the projected population in 2050.   3629 Producer
  Crop Intensity
This animation shows global fires in 2007 and then zooms to the Northern Territory of Australia and shows fires in 2008. The Northern Territory has one of the highest frequencies of early season fires in Australia because land managers there conduct numerous prescribed fires to reduce grass that could act as fuel for more severe wildfires later in the dry season(May until October).   3624 Producer
  2008 Northern Australia Fire Observations
This animation shows where the world's food is grown versus where the world's food is consumed. The movie starts with global croplands and then fades to the countries that produce over 80% of the world's wheat, grain, and cereal. It then overlays the world's population density and then fades to show the countries that are projected to double and triple their population by 2050.   3601 Producer

Fires around the world from Jan 1 through Dec 31, 2007.   3597 Producer
  Fire Observations - As the World Turns
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is the first mission in NASA's planned return to the moon. LRO is an unmanned mission to create the comprehensive atlas of the moon's features and resources necessary to design all future lunar exploration efforts. LRO focuses on the selection of safe landing sites, identification of lunar resources and the study of how lunar radiation will affect humans.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10438 Videographer
