www.climate.nasa.gov Instagram.comSatellite views of our #urban centers show the growth of cities over time. And with the #Landsat 50-year record of our planet, we can see what effect cities are having on our #climate.
Dr. Eric Brown de Colstoun is a research scientist @nasagoddard. Here, Eric speaks on how monitoring changes such as longer or more intense heat waves allows scientists like him to think about ways to make urban communities more sustainable. He also asks you to make measurements on the ground with the @globeprogram using the GLOBE Observer app.
By taking measurements of the land cover near you, you can help scientists have a more complete picture of the planet. And if you do so between now and August 26, you will take part in the “NASA GLOBE Land Cover Challenge: Land Cover in a Changing Climate.”
Visit the link in our bio for details on how to participate in the challenge.
