GREENFIELD — In collaboration with the Tewksbury Public Library, the Greenfield Public Library will present “How NASA is Combating Climate Change” on Friday, Sept. 29, at 2 p.m., on Zoom.

The division delivers the technology, global observations and applications that help map the myriad connections between the planet’s vital processes and the climate effects of ongoing natural and human-caused changes. Attendees will learn about the efforts of teams of NASA researchers who are currently examining Earth to understand climate change, storms, fires and where people fit into all of it.

The program, led by Elizabeth Hoy, who has been a NASA scientist for more than 10 years, is free, but registration is required. Register for the Zoom link at tinyurl.com/mr2x7zv3.
