The Science Discovery Engine (SDE) is a search tool that helps users find publicly available data across the NASA Science Mission Directorate. Now, just in time for Earth Day, the SDE team has launched the Environmental Justice Data Search Interface. This new tool promotes access to information to aid in tackling environmental challenges with science-based solutions for equitable decision-making. 

The interface stems from NASA’s commitment to environmental justice — the meaningful involvement of everyone in shaping the environmental policies and regulations that affect their communities, regardless of their race, color, national origin, or income.  

Following the open science principle of accessibility, the new search portal allows everyone interested in environmental causes to explore NASA resources and information related to environmental and climate justice. Users can search focus areas such as urban flooding, food availability, and climate change. The team will continually improve the interface to promote the development of this important field of study.
