With peak wildfire season approaching, scientists with NASA’s FireSense project have created low-cost thermal sensors to install on fire bulldozers that will alert firefighters when heat from a nearby fire reaches a dangerous level. The sensors also provide researchers with important data on what happens beneath the canopy during a fire. In April, researchers and […]
Scientists with NASA’s FireSense project have been working with the Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC) to create low-cost thermal sensors to install on fire bulldozers, which alert firefighters when heat from a nearby fire reaches a dangerous level. The sensors also provide researchers with important data on what happens beneath the canopy during a fire. On April 23-24, 2026 the AFC and NASA's…

Sea level data from a satellite launched by NASA and European partners shows that a swell of warm water hundreds of miles wide has arrived in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America, a sign that El Niño will likely emerge later in the year. Because water expands as it warms, a rise […]

The NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Research Initiation Awards (RIA) program aims to broaden the base of institutions involved in the SMD research and technology development ecosystem. The program has two principal objectives: RIA places eligibility requirements on both the Principal Investigator and the institution: This opportunity is designed to support the executive order (EO) […]

NASA scientists have developed an artificial intelligence tool to take on a longstanding challenge in ocean waters. In a study recently published in AGU Earth and Space Science, researchers reported the tool was able to fuse data from multiple satellites and detect harmful algal blooms that occurred in western Florida and Southern California. Severe blooms […]

A new study suggests northern Oregon could experience stronger shaking during a major Cascadia earthquake than earlier models predicted. A new analysis of the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate beneath northern Oregon suggests the slab lies closer to the surface than scientists previously believed. The finding could affect estimates of how strongly the region may [...]

On or about May 5, 2026 A.3 NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar Mission Data, Applications, Research, and Technology Team (NISAR DART) was corrected regarding the requirements for application projects. Section 8.3.1 Step-2 Proposal Requirements has been corrected to specify that names of end-user organization(s) are not to be given in the anonymized Step-2 proposal but […]

One of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space has mapped the ground moving beneath one of fastest subsiding capitals in the world: Mexico City. The findings show how quickly and reliably the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite can track real-time changes across Earth’s surface from orbit, unhindered by clouds or vegetation […]
Pixxel operates a constellation of high-resolution hyperspectral Earth observation satellites designed to deliver precise spectral measurements of Earth’s surface for frequent global monitoring. Its operational Firefly constellation provides analysis-ready data across more than 135 spectral bands in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) range at a 5-meter ground sample distance. This rich…

Deep within Earth’s core, scientists are uncovering signs of a hidden structure that challenges long-standing models of the planet’s interior. Far below the surface, beyond the reach of drilling, Earth’s core may contain a previously unknown layer. Scientists now believe Earth’s center is not a single uniform sphere but a more complex structure, with a [...]

Researchers found a vast magma reservoir in Tuscany using seismic noise analysis, showing hidden volcanic systems can exist without surface clues and aiding resource exploration. How can scientists detect magma buried 5, 10, or even 15 km (~3, 6, and 9 miles, respectively) below the surface when there are no visible clues above ground? The [...]

New research suggests Mount Etna forms from deep mantle magma pockets, possibly classifying it as a rare “petit-spot” volcano rather than a typical tectonic or hotspot volcano. Mount Etna, located in Sicily, is the most active volcano in Europe. Yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it formed, as no existing geological model fully [...]
NASA’s Boeing 777 has returned to the agency’s fleet after undergoing heavy structural modifications as it transforms from a giant passenger plane into the agency’s next-generation airborne science laboratory. After a check flight and a three-hour transit from Waco, the aircraft returned to NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, on April 22. Since January […]

A new geological study sheds light on a previously hidden phase of the Colorado River’s history. Geologists have uncovered what happened to the Colorado River during a mysterious missing stretch of its history millions of years ago. Research published in Science shows that the river once flowed into a large inland lake for several million [...]
Overview The Internet of Animals (IoA) project combines animal telemetry data with Earth observations to better support biodiversity studies and applied ecological management, architects a next-generation space-based animal tracking system, and develops technology to collect ambient environmental information for satellite calibration and validation.

Hemispheric Airborne Measurements of Air Quality (HAMAQ) is a NASA-funded project under the EVS-4 program using two aircraft (NASA’s B777 & P-3B) to sample in coordination with satellites (like TEMPO) and surface observations (both regulatory and research-grade) to develop a multi-perspective view of air quality conditions useful for challenging and improving models, see…
MDA Space operates the RADARSAT-2 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite, which offers 20 different beam modes and acquires data that can be used to monitor surface dynamics, the cryosphere, ecosystems, ocean science, natural hazards, and disasters. Launched in 2007 following the success of RADARSAT-1, RADARSAT-2 is a unique collaboration between MDA Space and the Canadian […]
