Abstract:

Who Are NASA's Earth Explorers? The elementary school student questioning if El Nino occurs anywhere besides the Pacific Ocean... The researcher investigating connections between Arctic ozone depletion and global climate change... The consumer comparing hydrocarbon versus hydrogen-powered cars... And the business person projecting future needs for harvest, delivery, and storage of crops... All of these people are Earth Explorers -- they are all connected by their curiosity about Earth system processes. This monthly series will introduce you to NASA Earth Explorers, young and old, with a variety of backgrounds and interests.

The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) maintains an Earth Explorers topic index for educators, students and others who want to browse articles by subject. IGES is a nonprofit organization that works with NASA's Science Mission Directorate to provide educational Earth and space science content for the NASA portal.
