Aerosol, Cloud, and Precipitation research are among the nine cross-cutting themes of the Earth Sciences Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The AeroCenter-Cloud Precipitation Center (AeroCenter-CPC) is an interdisciplinary union of researchers at NASA Goddard and other organizations in the Washington DC metropolitan area (including NOAA, University of Maryland, and other institutions) who are interested in many facets of atmospheric aerosols, clouds, and precipitation.

Beautiful Earth is a unique education experience for people of all ages that combines live music, a multi-media presentation of NASA visualizations, NASA scientist and Native American perspectives of the Earth and its cryosphere, and hands-on workshops at partner museums across the U.S.

Explore the causes and effects of climatic and environmental change through the use of real satellite data.

Ice in Motion, a series of posters depicting NASA’s work in Greenland, is now freely available for download. The posters, which were translated into Danish and Greenlandic with the help of high school students, are currently on display at several airports and high schools in Greenland.

IceCube is a 3U CubeSat funded by NASA for spaceflight demonstration of a commercial 883-GHz cloud radiometer. See this book chapter.

ICESat-2 is a satellite mission launched in September 2018. ICESat-2 uses green lasers to measure the height of Earth's ice-covered regions to track melting and other changes. From space, it will also measure the height of other features of our planet, including land, trees and shrubs, water and even buildings. Visit ICESat-2’s Funzone for videos, hands-on activities, interactives, and citizen science opportunities.

The role of the International Radiation Commission is to promote research into atmospheric radiation as well as application of that research to practical problems. Dr. Lazaros Oreopooulos and Alexander Marshak are members of the International Radiation Commission.

Send a "note from the field" with postcards featuring images from Operation IceBridge, NASA's six-year airborne mission to monitor Earth's polar ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice. Display the front of the cards to showcase spectacular images and visualizations from the mission. Turn the cards over to read factoids and learn about the ice at Earth's polar regions.
