            "description": "The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) mission  is a joint Earth-science project launched in 2018 by NASA and the German Research Centre for Geosciences to continue the work of the earlier GRACE mission. It consists of two satellites flying about 137 mi (220 km) apart in the same orbit around Earth, constantly measuring tiny changes in the distance between them. These variations occur because changes in Earth’s gravity, caused by shifting masses such as melting ice sheets, groundwater depletion, and ocean circulation, slightly alter the satellites’ speeds and separation. By precisely tracking these changes, GRACE FO allows scientists to map how water moves across the planet, improving our understanding of climate change, sea-level rise, and global water resources.This visualization uses data from GRACE FO to create an index based on percentile dryness, categorizing the dregree of wetness or dryness within three domains: groundwater storage, root zone soil moisture, and surface moisture. It updates weekly, and extends back over a period of a year from the current week.This visualization is created for use within the Earth Information Center (EIC). || ",

            "title": "From Space to Soil: How NASA Sees Forests",
            "description": "Music: \"Overview Effect,\" \"All In Stride,\" Universal Production Music. NASA utilizes advanced satellite lidar technology to better understand and observe Earth’s forests—crucial ecosystems that absorb roughly 30 percent of atmospheric carbon. Remote sensing scientist, Laura Duncanson, explains the challenge of studying vast, remote regions where traditional field research is limited. For over 50 years, satellites like Landsat have tracked forest cover, but have lacked the ability to measure how much carbon these forests contain. That’s where NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission comes in. GEDI provides high-resolution 3D data on tree canopy height, canopy structure, and surface elevation, allowing scientists to determine forest biomass. However, based on GEDI’s orbit on the International Space Station (ISS), it is unable to capture data near Earth’s poles. To fill that gap, NASA uses the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2), which, although not originally designed for forests, provides complementary 3D forest data, especially in boreal regions. Together, the two lidar systems enable the first comprehensive global biomass map, revealing where and how much carbon is being lost or regained in forests. With this new understanding comes smarter conservation and restoration efforts, assisting in identifying carbon-rich areas to prioritize protection. With these NASA Earth science missions, we can see a clearer global picture of our planet and its carbon balance.

Yields of key crops are down for the third year in a row, milk production is in decline, and more than 9 million livestock animals have been lost due to a lack of water and suitable forage land. At the same time, regional conflicts, COVID-19, locusts, and the Ukraine War have caused price spikes and shortages of basic commodities. An estimated 18 to 21 million people now \"face high levels of acute food insecurity\" in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia.These animations depict root zone and surface soil moisture observations and forecasts from the NASA Hydrological Forecast and Analysis System (NHyFAS). Reds depict areas with soil moisture percentages below the average, while blues reflect areas that are above average (often due to passing storms). The first 27 seconds of the animation show soil moisture from August 2020 through June 2022. The final 10 seconds show forecasts for July through December 2022, including the next rainy season. Root zone moisture is critical for long term crop growth. New seedlings are mostly dependent on surface water, but then as plants grow and sink deeper roots, they are sustained by moisture in the top layer of the soil. || ",

Soil moisture, the water contained within soil particles, is an important player in Earth's water cycle. It is essential for plant life and influences weather and climate. Satellite readings of soil moisture will help scientists better understand the climate system and have potential for a wide range of applications, from advancing climate models, weather forecasts, drought monitoring and flood prediction to informing water management decisions and aiding in predictions of agricultural productivity.

            "description": "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.
