Lastly, do you want to get involved with some actual NASA science? Via the agency’s citizen science projects, volunteers have helped make thousands of essential scientific observations and some discoveries. Extra than 400 NASA citizen scientists have even been named as co-authors on peer-reviewed scientific publications. To get involved, join one particular of NASA’s Citizen Science applications or download the GLOBE Observer App to get started your personal journey of discovery. Projects are open to absolutely everyone about the planet, not restricted to U.S. citizens or residents.
NASA’s revolutionary tools and information inform selection-makers about the planet as they monitor and handle the meals we consume, the air we breathe, and the challenges faced by communities in the path of serious climate. NASA partners with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Geological Survey, state and nearby governments, and international organizations to deliver data on climate transform and other environmental challenges. But NASA is also committed to creating information accessible, collaborative, inclusive, and transparent for absolutely everyone from the scientist and student to the city manager and citizen — an method identified as “open science.”
