NASA Ames 2025 Earth Science Nuggets cover ecosystem, water and aerosol studies

NASA Ames Research Center's 2025 Earth Science Nuggets collect short items on Earth science topics from May through November 2025.

The entries include: May 2025 — "Legacy of Global Ecosystem Model ‘CASA’ Recognized with H. Julian Allen Award"; May 2025 — "Global Estimates of the Storage and Transit Time of Water Through Vegetation"; June 2025 — "Airborne Measurements of Volcanic Emissions"; July 2025 — "Airborne Measurements of Ocean Color and Aerosols for Validation of NASA’s PACE Satellite"; and November 2025 — "Uncovering the Fate of Aerosols that Affect Earth’s Radiation Budget."

The nuggets address ecosystem modeling, vegetation water storage and transit, airborne measurements of volcanic emissions, ocean color and aerosol observations for PACE validation, and aerosol effects on Earth’s radiation budget.

The page also lists downloads for each of the five nuggets.
