NASA ~ The Climate Time Machine: According to the website, this webpage features a "...series of visualizations shows how some of Earth's key climate indicators are changing over time."
NASA ~ Eyes on the Earth software: Click on the link to download the app, which will launch the software needed to observe the Earth in 3D ~ in 'real-time." According to NASA you will be able to "Monitor our planet's vital signs, such as sea level height, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and Antarctic ozone. Trace the movement of water around the globe using the gravity map from NASA's GRACE satellites. Spot volcanic eruptions and forest fires using the carbon monoxide vital sign. Check out the hottest and coldest locations on Earth with the global surface temperature map" (NASA, 2016).

22 Year Sea Level Rise
According to NASA, the video above shows a, "... total sea level change between 1992 and 2014, based on data collected from the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1 and Jason-2 satellites. Blue regions are where sea level has gone down, and orange/red regions are where sea level has gone up. Since 1992, seas around the world have risen an average of nearly 3 inches.
