New Satellite Mission Reveals Dramatic Land Subsidence in Mexico City

The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission has successfully captured high-resolution data revealing significant land subsidence across Mexico City. Observations collected between late 2025 and early 2026 highlight areas sinking by more than half an inch per month, a phenomenon largely attributed to intensive groundwater extraction that has compacted the city’s ancient lakebed foundation. The […]

Progress and Peril: Global Rainforest Loss Declines by 36% But El Niño Wildfire Threats Loom

Global tropical forest loss experienced a significant deceleration in 2025, offering a glimmer of hope for international conservation efforts. Satellite data reveals that approximately 43,000 square kilometers of old-growth tropical rainforest were lost last year—an area roughly equivalent to the size of Denmark. While this represents a promising 36% decline from the record-breaking destruction seen […]
