We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Climate Indicators Data Access and Tools
NASA data measure the gases, carbon, energy and other components driving climate change and track their effects on the health of Earth’s environment and ecosystems. Our datasets and tools help researchers translate these interconnected data points into actionable knowledge.
