This talk will discuss some ways through which this is done and will present a wide range of illustrative examples, from individual events such as fires, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, and coccolithophore blooms, to changes in the Antarctic ozone hole and long-term trends such as sea level rise, increases in atmospheric temperature, carbon dioxide, and methane, and decreases in land ice and sea ice. With satellites, we can be far more certain than ever before about the global-scale changes occurring on our home planet. Led by Claire Parkinson, Ph.D., Climate Change Senior Scientist, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Send a reflection before midnight to the group chat that will be made. What did you learn?
