NASA: Road transportation a'key driver'of global warminganalyzing impact by economic sector rather than chemical species, NASA scientists have determined that motor vehicles are the greatest contributor to atmospheric warming, now and in the near term.
In a new study led by Nadine Unger of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies,
researchers used a climate model to analyze how 13 different sectors of the economy will impact global warming from the year 2000 to 2100.
Scientist gets climate data off NASA satellite before it diesan assistant professor at Colorado State university, Michael Lefsky, has combined data from three NASA satellites to produce a global map of the height of the world's forests.
Knowing how tall the forests are will help scientists figure out how much carbon the trees can capture
On July 14, NASA flight controllers finished firing ICESAT's thrusters to lower its orbit so gravity can drag it back to Earth.
About 90 percent of the satellite is expected to burn up in the atmosphere--NASA claims there's little harm from the rest,
More later on what NASA plans to do in the meantime. ICESAT was using a laser technology similar to radar, called lidar,
From NASA: Lidar can capture vertical slices of forest canopy height by shooting pulses of light at the ground
From NASA: The new results show that temperate conifer forests--which are extremely moist and contain massive trees such as Douglas fir, western hemlock, redwoods,
according to NASA, is what happens to 2 billion tons per year of missing carbon dioxide, considering that humans generate 7 billion tons
Mr. Torcellini greenhouse wouldn t look out of place on a wayward space station where pioneers have gone to escape the cannibal gangs back On earth.
In the March-April 2009 issue of THE FUTURIST, Dennis Bushnell, a chief research scientist at NASA
and NASA showed periodic interest in the idea as a way of feeding astronauts on extremely long space missions.
The smart industrial gear includes jet engines, bridges and oil rigs that alert their human minders when they need repairs,
Computers track sensor data on operating performance of a jet engine, or slight structural changes in an oil rig, looking for telltale patterns that signal coming trouble.
If you re not familiar with Lely Astronaut A4 robotic milking system, it essentially a boxed area that the cows walk into and are milked at their leisure.
The appeal of the Astronaut A4 isn t only that it automates the milking process,
According to Lely, the Astronaut system produces 10 to 15 percent more milk than conventional farmers who typically milk twice a day.
which users produced videos showing how they use the Lely Astronaut system and how it affects their farm.
The hands off milking system that the Astronaut A4 provides allows farmers to spend less time milking
we wouldn't have Nasa engineers getting us there. We use that narrative as inspiration
