NASA | The Puffin-Satellite Connection

Mariah Frostick, an Earth science film producer at NASA, visits Iceland's Westman Islands, home to the largest puffin breeding colony. She explores the impact of climate change on puffins' food supply, linked to decreasing phytoplankton due to rising sea temperatures. NASA's satellites, like SeaWiFS, help researchers study these changes. Mariah's passion for science storytelling drives her work at NASA Goddard, where she communicates important climate change stories.
