About RASI

RASI’s mission is to provide the latest scientific research on climate change to help NASA facilities managers adapt to increasing climate risks in timely and effective ways. The RASI science products are created and shared through working groups that include topics such as water management, ecosystems, energy, air quality, wildfires, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events.
