Shine partnered with agency One Good Man to create a short film for the NASA Earth Sciences program. The purpose of the film is to describe NASA’s vision for the future of earth science: by connecting different disciplines of science, a greater understanding of our planet can be achieved.
The film is intended for the worldwide scientific community. It will be shown at conferences and lectures throughout the world to scientists, the public, and anyone interested in earth science. The film premiered in front of the enormous audience at the Earth Science Technology Forum in Annapolis, Maryland.
Earth sciences, while crucial for understanding our planet, also highlight significant threats. These include natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, which can cause massive destruction and loss of life. Additionally, climate change, driven by human activity, poses severe risks, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and biodiversity loss, threatening ecosystems and human societies globally.
The Earth's atmosphere faces challenges like air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and ozone layer depletion. These issues lead to climate change, health problems, and ecosystem disruption, necessitating urgent global action to reduce pollutants and mitigate environmental impacts.
Humanity must adopt sustainable practices, reduce carbon emissions, enhance disaster preparedness, and invest in renewable energy. Protecting natural resources, restoring ecosystems, and advancing scientific research are crucial to mitigate and adapt to changes in the earth's atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere.
NASA satellites studying Earth monitor climate, weather, and environmental changes. They track atmospheric composition, land use, ocean temperatures, and ice cover, providing crucial data for understanding global processes, predicting natural disasters, and informing policy decisions for environmental protection and sustainability.
NASA satellites use radar to penetrate clouds and map Earth's surface, and lidar to measure surface elevations and vegetation structure. These technologies provide precise data on topography, ice sheets, forest biomass, and sea levels, enhancing our understanding of environmental changes.
