This video shared by @JohnKerry describes the EMIT imaging spectrometer's detection of CH4 superemitters from the international space station. We have now detected over 1000 plumes!
Our friends at @NASA are helping the world identify methane super emitters from the International Space Station. Methane contributes 30% of current warming - and rapidly reducing methane emissions is crucial to our global climate, health, food security & energy security goals.
A lesson in remote sensing of snow from the one and only Jeff Dozier! What better than a spectrometer to measure snow’s light absorption and resulting melt rates? #AGU23
Breaking news from EMIT: the first global maps of surface minerals in arid regions! Continental-scale mineralogy at 60m resolution yields some surprisingly beautiful maps. It's astonishing how much we still have to learn about our planet. jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-sens… via @NASAJPL
Here’s @knobelsp describing PACE-PAX at #AGU23 - multi-aircraft validation of the PACE mission products with the Pacific as the laboratory!
Come see EMIT at #AGU2023 ! From continent-scale mineral maps to facility-scale greenhouse gas point sources, the first year of EMIT observations is a tantalizing glimpse at the potential of imaging spectroscopy for understanding our planet.

NASA Mission Excels at Spotting Greenhouse Gas Emission Sources
Since launching 16 months ago, the EMIT imaging spectrometer aboard the International Space Station has shown an ability to detect more than just surface minerals.
Bloomberg uses @carbonmapper analysis of @nasa’s EMIT imaging spectrometer data to find emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Extreme Texas Heat Linked to Giant Planet-Warming Methane Releases
A satellite passing over the Permian Basin documented 22 large plumes of unburned natural gas as some critical equipment was forced to shut down due to hot temperatures.
Lunar Thermal Mapper (LTM) has been integrated with the Lunar Trailblazer spacecraft! 🚀 Built by @OxfordAOPP and contributed by @spacegovuk, LTM will work together with Lunar Trailblazer's HVM3 instrument to find lunar water. Learn More 👉 nasa.gov/feature/jpl/na…
AVIRIS-NG strikes again! Great job, team.
Here's something to cheer(s) about going into the weekend! 🍷 Thanks to an airborne instrument developed here at JPL, scientists detected a costly infection in cabernet sauvignon grapevines before they showed symptoms visible to the human eye. go.nasa.gov/47min9a

On-orbit Calibration and Performance of the EMIT Imaging Spectrometer
The Earth surface Mineral dust source InvesTigation (EMIT) is a remote visible to shortwave infrared (VSWIR) imaging spectrometer that will map the mineralogy of Earth's mineral dust forming regions....
Here ‘s @LaurieofMars presenting at IGARSS 2023 on EMIT’s CH4 superemitter detection capability. Go EMIT!
We're giving a Webinar this Wednesday on EMIT - NASA's VSWIR Imaging Spectrometer on the International Space Station. Come learn how to discover, access and use the data. earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/webinars…
Congratulations @PhilTownsnd ! So well deserved.
