 Applications of Earth Science Research (35) - Information on current and potential Earth Science applications, partnerships, and programs devoted to both the public and private sectors.
- Atmospheric and Climate Studies (10)
- Information on the atmosphere, clouds, climate and instruments used in different atmospheric studies projects.
- Biospherics (8)
- This section includes sites that provide information on the study of terrestrial ecosystems and their interaction with the atmosphere using multi-scale remote sensing, modeling, and analytical techniques.
- Earth Observing Systems and Science (56)
- The Earth Observing System (EOS) is the centerpiece of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise (ESE). It consists of a science component and a data system supporting a coordinated series of polar-orbiting and low inclination satellites for long-term global observations of the land surface, biosphere, solid Earth, atmosphere, and oceans.
- Earth Science Data Sources and Analysis (70)
- Data assimilation, data analysis, data servers, high-performance computing, information technology R&D;, image repositories and archives.
- Earth Science Technology (33)
- Diagrams, photos and technical information about instruments used in earth science studies, and reference sites for spacecraft development.
- Education and Public Communications (5)
- Directorate sites aimed at students, teachers, and the general public. Sites include pictures, educational resources, question and answer sections, and applications of NASA technology for public education, teacher programs, systemic reform efforts, curriculum enhancement and student programs.

- Field Measurements Research and Modeling (3)
- Information about field measurements, research, and modeling performed by Directorate programs and projects.
- General Information (27)
- Information about Earth Sciences Directorate conferences and workshops, employment opportunities, personnel lists and Earth Science news and research publications.
- Hydrospheric Studies (20)
- Sites that focus on programs dealing with theoretical
and experimental research in the oceanic, cryospheric and hydrologic sciences, including instrument, algorithm, and model development; the validation and analysis of remotely sensed data from a wide variety of sensors with in situ hydrological data, and ultimately, the application of these data to geophysical process studies and global change investigations.
- Organization (38)
- Directorate organizational sites and information such as mission statements, program descriptions, strategic plans, calendars, etc.
- Spotlight on Earth Sciences (1)
- Information on programs which are over $5 million dollars in cost,, are highly-publicized or visible programs, or are noteworthy programs selected by Director’s discretion.
- Terrestrial Physics (24)
- Research to advance knowledge in Earth and planetary science, and to aid in the improved management of the resources of the Earth, through the application of remote sensing and other space technology.
