http://www.earthtosky.org/ en-GB (c) 2009 Earth to Sky no climate, climate change, earth, sun, nasa, nps Welcome to Earth to Sky a partnership between NASA's Space and Earth Science disciplines, the National Park Service (NPS), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Together, we foster collaborative work between the science and interpretation/education communities of NPS, FWS and NASA, with the goal of enriching the experiences of millions of park and refuge visitors. In response to the growing concerns about the effects of global climate change on our national treasures, a nationwide strategy of communication, mitigation and adaptation has been adopted. This Earth to Sky podcast series informs park and refuge visitors on the present and future affects of climate change on our public lands, and the measures being taken to mitigate and adapt to these effects.

From rising sea levels to ocean acidification to changes in ocean currents, parks such as Point Reyes National Seashore, which is situated on California's coast just north of San Fransisco, are facing some catastrophic changes in the years to come. How are they dealing with this barrage of challenges? Part one of this two-part episode focuses on how changes in the California ocean current may be impacting the resources of Point Reyes National Seashore. Part two discusses the effects of our changing climate on the park's wildlife.

This is a hard question to answer, particularly considering how diverse each park, monument and protected area is.  In response to the growing concerns about the effects of global climate change on our national parks and monuments, a nationwide strategy of communication, mitigation and adaptation has been adopted for the entire national park service. This Climate Cast series is an effort to share with you the impacts being faced by your national parks and perhaps increase your understanding of this global issue. Each episode in this series will focus on a single park or monument, and how climate change is impacting their resources. You may hear stories about the influence of climate change on a single species, such as the Florida panther or desert pupfish, or how it’s changing entire ecosystems. You may also learn about the impacts to some of our most beloved cultural and historical sites, those places that help define who we are as a nation. But more than these stories, we also hope to share how each park and monument is planning to mitigate and adapt to those changes. So sit back and enjoy the inaugural episode of Climate Cast, your connection to the science of climate change in your national parks.
