The Earth Observatory is part of the EOS Project Science Office located at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

Our mission is to help you picture climate change and environmental changes happening on our home planet. Here you can search for and retrieve satellite images of Earth. Download them; export them to GoogleEarth; perform basic analysis. Tracking regional and global changes around the world just got easier.

Earth Science data access made simple. This Focus Area deals with the cycling of carbon in reservoirs and ecosystems as it changes naturally, is changed by humans, and is affected by climate change.

The GCMD database holds more than 30,000 descriptions of Earth science data sets and services covering all aspects of Earth and environmental sciences. The mission of the GCMD is to (1) Assist the scientific community in the discovery of Earth science data, related services, and ancillary information (platforms, instruments, projects, data centers/service providers); and (2) Provide discovery/collection-level metadata of Earth science resources and provide scientists a comprehensive and high quality database to reduce overall expenditures for scientific data collection and dissemination.
