This visualization begins with a satellite view of the NASA Goddard campus. A marker appears to show where a nodosaur print from the Cretaceous-era was found. The camera then zooms out to a global view, which is then compared to a similar view of a Cretaceous-era Earth. Differences in ice coverage, CO2 concentration, and sea level are described before surface air temperature data for both time periods fades in, showing that the Cretaceous era was much warmer than modern day.
