- The vast majority of the world's fresh water is frozen in ice sheets, glaciers and snow caps.
- How the same omega-shaped high sowed havoc for Russia and Pakistan
- This European satellite imagery helped prove that a tsunami can make an impact a hemisphere away.
- Animation of Teleconnection Between Russia and Pakistan
- Nearly 50 square miles of ice broke off the Sulzberger Ice Shelf on the coast of Antarctica, resulting from waves generated by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011.

- This set provides stereoscopic (Left and Right Eye Combined on the same frame) content of the 2007 Greenland Melt Season Study composited with the background and overlay.
- On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall along the Gulf Coast. Five years later, NASA revisits the storm with a short video that shows Katrina as captured by satellites. Before and during the hurricane's landfall, NASA provided data gathered from a series of Earth observing satellites to help predict Katrina's path and intensity. In its aftermath, NASA satellites also helped identify areas hardest hit.

- The gross primary productivity of the world's land areas for the period 2000-2009 as calculated from Terra's MODIS instrument. The original 8-day average GPP data has been smoothed to a 24-day average to make the animation less noisy.
