Moreira’s technology also helps to track the effects of climate change. Using radar to map the Earth’s surface Before Moreira and his team developed their InSAR system in 2010, synthetic-aperture radar systems were the state of the art, he says. The InSAR system was used in the DLR’s 2010 TanDEM-X mission.

A new report from the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change shows the importance of all major nations taking part in global efforts to reduce emissions—and in particular, finds China’s role to be crucial. From 2000 to 2010, China’s energy use grew 130%, up from a growth of 50% the previous decade.

Earlier observations from satellites and balloons suggest that stratospheric water vapor probably increased between 1980 and 2000, which would have enhanced the decadal rate of surface warming during the 1990s by about 30% compared to estimates ignoring this change, according to the authors. —Solomon et al.
