that climate change could completely change our planet. Despite that, there’s still a lot we don’t understand about climate change. But NASA’s newest mission could change that.
EMIT, also known as the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation, is a new mission led by NASA that hopes to provide more context and understanding about climate change. The mission is being run fromThese maps provide detailed images of the composition of the surface found in regions of northwest Nevada and the Sahara Desert in Libya. NASA found that these windy areas are the sources of fine dust particles that heat or cool the surrounding air when lifted into the atmosphere.
Before now, though, scientists haven’t been able to truly assess how those changes react on a global scale.
