As the saying goes, “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure” and at NASA, Annie Meier is that person! Annie is a space waste engineer working on technologies to convert waste into vital resources for human space travel. Trash can be used to produce important gasses and even water – commodities astronauts traveling to another planet can’t just pick up along the way. Click to learn about Annie's journey.

Only 3% of water on Earth’s surface is fresh – a vital resource for electricity, farming, and life. For decades, researchers have observed Earth’s water resources to understand their fluctuations, observe their connection to habitability, and provide critical data to protect our planet’s global waterways. NASA and its partners leverage Earth observation data to enhance water management and facilitate innovative solutions to stressors on one of our most precious natural resources. This month’s resource collection is rich in interactive data tools, visualizations, and hands-on lesson plans for all grade levels, including topics ranging from how the water cycle works to how technology is used to observe and navigate Earth’s waterways.
