TRT 4:24 Canned interview in Spanish with Edil Sepulveda Large Summer Ice Loss In The Arctic, With More Melting to Come New NASA Images Show Melting As Summer Heat Bakes The ArcticIt’s been a summer of record temperatures — and even the world’s coldest places have felt the heat. As the high temperatures bake the Arctic, the Greenland ice sheet is experiencing extreme levels of ice loss. Ice on the sea surrounding the Arctic also continues to retreat. Chat with NASA scientists on Friday, Sept. 6 from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST to find out how the latest heatwave in Europe may impact the Arctic and how these dramatic changes in the Arctic can affect you. Arctic ice both on land and sea are melting at a rapid rate, and newer ice isn't sticking around for long. The rising temperatures are causing younger, thinner ice to cover less area than in the past. Since 1980, the Arctic has lost enough sea ice volume to equal all the water in Lake Superior — one of the largest lakes in the world. NASA is keeping a close eye on the Arctic from the ground, the air, and space to help understand how Arctic temperature change is affecting weather all around the globe. Whether 2019 will set a new record for Arctic ice loss remains to be seen, but it is tracking to be one of the top five lowest in the 40-year satellite record.To schedule an interview, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/x6CXSkYwAfZsPn1Z6Interview Location: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MDSuggested Questions1. This summer has been unusually warm around the world, but particularly in the Arctic. What do the latest images show us about this year’s summer in the Arctic? 2. One of the biggest stories this summer was the extreme melting in Greenland. How unusual has this summer been for the glaciers on land? 3. NASA’s newest Earth-observing satellite is measuring the sea ice thickness in the Arctic with unprecedented detail. What surprising things has it already discovered? 4.How do changes in the Arctic impact us when the Arctic is so far away?5. Where can we learn more?

B-roll for the live shot will be added on Thursday April 18 by 6:00 p.m. EST. B-roll for Earth Day live shot. Canned interview with NASA Scientist Dr. Lesley Ott looking off camera. TRT 3:35 Canned interview with NASA scientist Dr. Melinda Webster. TRT 3:50 Celebrate Earth Day With NASAUse the hashtag #PictureEarth and share the beauty of EarthWhen you think of NASA you might be picturing astronauts, images of Jupiter and far-away galaxies, basically everything beyond our planet. But did you know that one of NASA’s biggest fields of study is our home, Earth?Of all the planets that NASA studies, none have matched the complexity of Earth. For 50 years, NASA has been sharing images of Earth that have changed our views of the planet. From the deep blue oceans to the many colors of the aurora and Earth’s vast landscapes.This Earth Day, NASA invites you to celebrate the planet we call home with a world-wide #PictureEarth social media event. Take a photo of the nature around you and share it on your social media accounts using the hashtag #PictureEarth.Join NASA scientists on 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 19 to find out how your viewers can join the fun and learn more about our interesting/unique/strange home.NASA has a fleet of satellites that are regularly collecting data to help us better understand and admire this little blue strange and mysterious planet. For more information about #PictureEarth, click HERE.*** To schedule an interview, fill out this form: https://forms.gle/JpFZdyjTtF1DnZ8i7 ***Location: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/ Greenbelt, MDsuggested questions1. Why do we study Earth? What makes it different from other planets?2. Can you talk about the different ways that NASA observes our planet from space?3. NASA also observes Earth from the ground. Can you talk about some of your field and airborne campaigns?4. How can our viewers participate in #PictureEarth? 5. Where can we learn more about our little blue planet?satellite coordinatesHD Satellite Coordinates for G17-K18/Lower: Galaxy 17 Ku-band Xp 18 Slot Lower| 91.0 ° W Longitude | DL 12051.0 MHz | Vertical Polarity | QPSK/DVB-S | FEC 3/4 | SR 13.235 Mbps | DR 18.2954 MHz | HD 720p | Format MPEG2 | Chroma Level 4:2:0 | Audio Embedded ** Questions??

Music: Ambience by Axel Coon [GEMA], Ralf Goebel [GEMA] Every year, sea ice fluctuates through the seasons, growing in the winter and shrinking in the summer. This year, Arctic sea ice reached its annual maximum March 13, 2019. It wasn’t a record low, but it continued a trend of declining sea ice maximums and minimums. Related pages
