Climate experts from NASA will discuss recent trends in global temperatures and Arctic sea ice, as well as research now underway to better understand their impacts, during a media teleconference at 1 p.m. EDT Tuesday, July 19.
NASA scientists track global temperature and sea ice data as part of the agency’s mission to better understand our changing planet. The agency’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York will release its analysis of June global surface temperatures prior to this teleconference.
The teleconference participants are:
Gavin Schmidt, GISS director
Walt Meier, sea ice scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland
Nathan Kurtz, project scientist for NASA’s Operation IceBridge at Goddard
Charles Miller, deputy science lead for the Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California
