earth day - action vs. reaction

Tomorrow is Earth Day and we want you to take some time and go through some images - an image is worth a thousand words.

22-year Sea Level Rise

This visualization shows total sea level change between 1992 and 2014, based on data collected from the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, and Jason-2 satellites. The color range for this visualization is -7 cm to +7 cm. This particular range was chosen to highlight variations in sea level change. (source: NASA)
