Month-Long Airborne Campaign to Build Confident and Consistent Picture of Carbon-Dioxide and Methane Fluxes

In May, a team of Goddard scientists will begin measuring greenhouse gases over the Mid-Atlantic region — an area chosen in part because it encompasses a range of vegetation, climate, and soil types that would influence the exchange of carbon dioxide and methane between the Earth and the atmosphere.

Study Shows How Climate Change Affects Distribution of Marine Microplastic Litter

Microplastic aggregation and movement is significantly influenced by marine circulation and weather conditions. Microplastics are particles that measure less than 5 mm, and are a growing concern. They not only become more applicable as other plastic marine litter disintegrates into tiny particles, but also interact with species in a variety of marine habitats.
