NASA has announced four projects that will study the effects of the coronavirus on our planet. From air pollution to the economy, NASA’s Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science will lead the studies. More from SlashGear:
The coronavirus pandemic caused an unprecedented, and incredibly rapid, change in human activities. Many people around the world remain quarantined in their homes, only venturing outdoors for exercise or, in some cases, to work essential jobs. The lack of human activities has resulted in rapid changes in only a very brief period of time, including drops in air pollution, the presence of wildlife in big cities, and even extensive mold growth in closed stores and theaters.
NASA is supporting multiple research projects in order to help gather data on the effects of these widespread changes, ones that will explore air pollution, air quality, water quality, and nighttime light pollution around the world.
