JPL News - Day in Review

DAY IN REVIEW NASA Announces Briefing on Carbon Mission Science Results NASA will hold a media teleconference at 11 a.m. PDT (2 p.m. EDT) Thursday, Oct. 12, to discuss new research to be published this week on changing global levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The research is based on data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) mission and other satellites. NASA launched OCO-2 in 2014 to gather global measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide with the resolution, precision and coverage needed to understand how this important greenhouse gas moves through the Earth system and how it changes over time. The teleconference panelists will be: Michael Freilich, director, Earth Science Division, NASA Headquarters, Washington Annmarie Eldering, OCO-2 deputy project scientist, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California Junjie Liu, research scientist, JPL Scott Denning, professor of atmospheric science, Colorado State University, Fort Collins Visuals to accompany the telecon will be available shortly before it starts at: https://www.nasa.gov/oco2telecon The public may ask questions during the briefing on Twitter using the hashtag #askNASA. Audio of the briefing, as well as supporting graphics, will stream live at: https://www.nasa.gov/live It will also be streamed at: http://www.youtube.com/nasajpl/live For more information on NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 mission, visit: https://www.nasa.gov/oco2 and https://oco2.jpl.nasa.gov
