1
00:00:05,205 --> 00:00:08,641
For more than 50 years, NASA has been collecting

2
00:00:08,641 --> 00:00:13,480
and providing data on Earth's land, water, ice and atmosphere.

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,250
Now, a new era of Earth Science has begun.

4
00:00:18,118 --> 00:00:22,255
Together with international partners, NASA will launch the SWOT mission

5
00:00:22,322 --> 00:00:26,326
to provide the first ever global survey of Earth's surface water,

6
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:30,463
the oceans, lakes and rivers that affect all of us.

7
00:00:31,231 --> 00:00:34,401
But we also need to understand our planet as a complex whole.

8
00:00:35,068 --> 00:00:38,571
That's why NASA will launch a fleet of state-of-the-art satellites

9
00:00:38,738 --> 00:00:41,207
forming the Earth System Observatory,

10
00:00:41,207 --> 00:00:44,310
which will create a comprehensive 4D view of Earth

11
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:47,380
from bedrock to atmosphere like never before.

12
00:00:48,014 --> 00:00:51,518
The Earth System Observatory will arm us with crucial data

13
00:00:51,785 --> 00:00:55,288
to help us address climate change and protect our communities.

14
00:00:56,022 --> 00:00:59,626
But how do we get this critical information to the people who need it?

15
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:02,762
Introducing the Earth Information Center.

16
00:01:03,496 --> 00:01:07,233
NASA, working with our federal partners, will equip decision makers

17
00:01:07,233 --> 00:01:09,235
with the information they need

18
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:12,405
to mitigate, adapt and respond to climate change.

19
00:01:12,972 --> 00:01:15,809
We will create a greenhouse gas monitoring system

20
00:01:15,942 --> 00:01:18,244
and make data about our changing planet

21
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:20,480
accessible to those who need it most.

22
00:01:21,381 --> 00:01:23,550
New satellites observing in the sky

23
00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:26,386
and an information center here on Earth,
