As of 2024, Schmidt heads NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. [5] He was named for the director position in June 2014 as its then deputy director, becoming to the third person to hold this post, which had been vacant after the retirement of James E. Hansen . [ 6 ]
These surface stations are located around the world, and are used to derive a global temperature. The first NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) global temperature analysis was published in 1981. Hansen and his co-author analyzed the surface air temperature at meteorological stations focusing on the years from 1880 to 1985.
While at NASA and Columbia's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Rosenzweig has pioneered the study of climate change's impact on agriculture and human cities. [2] She has been involved in numerous working groups attempting to assess and establish plans for managing climate change, including: Co-Chair, New York City Panel on Climate Change
A study has estimated, for example, that the Greenland ice sheet could see abrupt melting once warming has reached between 1.7 and 2.3 degrees Celsius (3.1 and 4.1 degrees Fahrenheit).
The effect of the climate crisis on wildfires "has been slow to emerge, but it is very clearly emerging, unfortunately," Gavin Schmidt, the director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies ...
A key objective of Goddard Institute for Space Studies research is prediction of climate change in the 21st century. The research combines paleogeological record, analysis of comprehensive global datasets (derived mainly from spacecraft observations), with global models of atmospheric, land surface, and oceanic processes.

The 1988 Toronto Conference took place in the same week that James E. Hansen director of NASA's Manhattan-based Goddard Institute for Space Studies cautioned in his 23 June 1988 testimony before the United States Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources that it was 99% certain that the global "warming trend was not a natural variation ...
