OBS

A key objective of GISS research is prediction of atmospheric and climate changes in the 21st century. The research combines analysis of comprehensive global datasets, derived mainly from spacecraft observations, with global models of atmospheric, land surface, and oceanic processes. The research approach includes study of past changes on Earth, such as paleoclimate changes, and study of other planetary atmospheres as an aid to prediction of future evolution of Earth on a planetary scale.
