Sure. We've learned so much. It turns out one of the best places to study the Earth is not actually from the ground, but using the vantage point from space. And as you mentioned, NASA has 25 Earth-observing satellites. And we can look at and examine and study and better understand so many different things about the Earth's water, energy, and carbon cycles. So we're learning that the water cycle is speeding up through climate change for example and more importantly we're able to better prepare and make more informed decisions by strategically integrating these observations from space into our decision-making capability yeah that's a great question what we're

seeing is is really an intensification of the water cycle energy cycle and carbon cycle and as you mentioned it's all related so we're seeing this as a system of systems and it's a very very complex story so what we're realizing now is that there's so much value in having this long historical record in fact nasa has 50 years more than 50 years actually of consistent observations from space and this telling us many, many things about these extreme events. You know, unfortunately we're seeing increased and more intense droughts as well as more intense floods. But the thing is that they're all related, so there's these interconnections in between these events, even from one season to the next. So even snowfall in one season will affect the amount of water that's available the following season as

well. What we do know is that through climate change we're seeing dry areas get drier and wet areas get wetter. And in dry areas that are prone to windy conditions, unfortunately that results in more intense wildfires. And what we're seeing is they are affecting more and more communities and as well as floods are doing the same thing so what we're seeing our ability to look at what is happening
