Pick up Movie
You can take a look at movies and videos of JAXA’s projects.
Melting Arctic Sea Ice
Progression of global warming continues.A new record low was set on September 24, 2007.JAXA continues to observe the earth from space.
Satellite：Aqua/AMSR-E
Amazon Deforestation
Forests are vanishing on a global scale.That is the cost of progress of human civilization.The eyes of satellites never miss such changes.
Satellite：ALOS
Himalaya Expansion of glacial lakes
Glaciers are thawing due to global warming.This will result in huge glacial lakes.Our satellites always observe these transformations.
