8799. Taking the Earth's Temperature: The Impact of Climate Change
Moderator: Melora Larson
Putting specialized cameras and other sensors in Earth orbit allow us to keep an eye on the health of plants and cities around the globe. There are several currently orbiting missions (ECOSTRESS, EMIT, OCO-3 and more) and some planned follow-on missions that are keeping an eye on the surface temperatures around the globe, the carbon and methane emissions around the globe, and the movement of dust around the globe. What these missions have taught us, and what more we can learn from the planned missions will be discussed.
