The U.S. space agency says its Earth science research and educational programs are in Copenhagen, Denmark, for this week's U.N. climate change conference.
The 12-day United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change began Monday and NASA is one of several U.S. government agencies supporting the first-ever U.S. Center — an outreach initiative housed in Copenhagen's Bella Conference Center.
"Organized by the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Center will host more than 60 events during the conference," NASA said in a statement. "The center's meeting room is a 100-seat auditorium where U.S. and international leaders in the fight against climate change will headline presentations on a wide range of critical initiatives, policies, and scientific research."
The center's reception room features displays and videos using data from U.S. satellites, including NASA's fleet of Earth-observing research spacecraft, officials said, noting NASA scientists also will be on hand to discuss agency research and programs with visitors.
