New Study Reveals Recent Ice Gains in Antarctica, But Long-Term Melting Continues
A study led by researchers at Tongji University using NASA's GRACE satellites has observed recent ice gains in Antarctica from 2021 to 2023, mainly due to unusual precipitation. However, the long-term satellite data from 2002 to 2020 shows a significant and accelerating trend of ice loss. However, experts emphasize this short-term gain does not rev...

28 Major US Cities Are Sinking, Including NYC and Chicago, Satellite Study Finds
A new satellite study has revealed that 28 of the most populous U.S. cities, including New York and Chicago, are sinking by up to 10 millimetres yearly. Researchers found that groundwater extraction is the key driver behind this trend, raising silent but serious threats to infrastructure, even in inland cities not typically prone to such risks.

SWOT Satellite Observes Seismic Tsunami Event in Greenland’s Dickson Fjord
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, a joint mission by NASA and France’s CNES, has observed a significant tsunami event in Greenland’s Dickson Fjord. Triggered by a massive rockslide in September 2023, the tsunami lasted for nine days and generated seismic signals recorded globally. The satellite's advanced radar technology...

Satellite Data Confirms Climate Crisis as Sea Level and Global Temperature Rises
Satellites are providing critical evidence for the climate crisis. With the highest global temperatures recorded in 2024 and sea levels rising consistently for 30 years, satellite data points to a clear climate crisis. This data helps scientists track environmental changes, making it crucial for informing policymakers and guiding global responses t...
