NASA Earth on Instagram: "Aerosols are tiny solid or liquid particles in our atmosphere like dust, sulfates from pollution or volcanoes, wildfire smoke, and more. NASA’s GEOS model shows how these particles can affect the air we breathe—even from far away. In this visualization of aerosol data from the GEOS model, different colors represent different aerosols. Sea salt is blue, dust is pink, smoke is orange, and sulfates from pollution and volcanoes are green. Data is shown for Aug. 1 to Sept. 1

NASA Earth on Instagram: "For over 50 years, @nasa/@usgs Landsat satellites have monitored Earth’s coastlines. While coastal ecosystems cover only a small portion of our planet, they play an important role: storing carbon, buffering storms, and sheltering wildlife. This data helps us understand how coastal ecosystems are changing. For example, Landsat data has shown how hurricanes impact mangroves, expanding meadows of eelgrass, changes in water quality, and more. #Earth #NASA #Coast #Beach #Sci
