Great to organize this critical dialogue on Youth Day at #COP28 between youth delegates and @NASA’s Chief Scientist Kate Calvin & Dr @bhamlington, @VulnerableChil ‘s Brian Okabaki and @UNICEF’s Fabio Friscia on the importance of climate education & literacy based on science!
Promoting green skills and educating people of all ages, especially the youth is essential for a climate-literate future. Kate Calvin and Ben Hamlington of @Nasa contributed insights in today's panel session, shedding light on their methods for educating youth on climate change.

What can satellite data do for you? 🌊🛰️🌏 Our new paper offers ideas on how coastal communities could use satellite data to dynamically adapt to sea level rise. https://t.co/HiXLzfbAM1

The island nation of Tuvalu, located in the South Pacific Ocean, is threatened with sea level rise. This graphic shows higher than normal sea level (in red) around two of Tuvalu’s islands from the SWOT satellite on March 21, 2023. 🌊 https://t.co/dgOxXGzsM0

Check out this awesome tool that Phil Thompson (@uhmanoa) built on https://t.co/GkVHnwIBCl. Connects future sea-level scenarios with other, natural sea-level variability to produce estimates of future high-tide flooding.

In the mid-2030s, every U.S. coast will experience increasing high-tide floods due to rising seas and a gravitational pull caused by the alignment of the Moon, Earth, and Sun - also called a "moon wobble." See how this may impact you: https://t.co/qtk5LWtU7W

@NASAEarth missions are allowing us direct insights into global changes around the 🌎. Consider sea level rise: Half of the sealevel rise is from melted ice, the other half from volume expansion due to larger water temperature. When it comes to the https://t.co/YntLuJ5Q9A

High-tide floods are already a familiar problem in many coastal cities in the U.S. If only we had a crystal ball to better predict what's coming... Now we do. 🔮 Track what the future has in store for U.S. coastlines:

The development process of this tool was really cool, as we were able to get feedback and implement suggestions from the N-SLCT Practitioner Board ( https://t.co/g4lR0GHuBQ), engaging in some co-development to make the tool as useful as possible to those that need it most. 4/5

Why is sea level rising? Global sea levels are rising as a result of human-caused global warming, with recent rates being unprecedented over the past 2,500-plus years. @NASAJPL’s Ben Hamlington explains how our warming planet is causing sea level rise. https://t.co/0mqsEXrGW2

Earth has about 370,000,000,000,000,000,000 (quintillion) gallons of water, with some sources easier to access and use than others. The water budget tells us where that water is – key information that helps better plan for the future.
