Imagine all the fun of Comic-Con, only with fewer costumes and a more sciency, save-the-planet, get-everyone-doing-science kind of vibe and you have NASA’s inaugural CitSciCon, a virtual event on May 21 and May 22.
Join the GLOBE citizen science community in the 2021 Community #TreesChallenge, where Science is Better Together! April 15 – May 15, 2021
Through the K10 Partnership, Girl Scouts can earn a “Clean Water Grows on Trees” fun patch by learning about the importance of trees and their impact on clean water.
With the GLOBE Observer (GO) mobile app there are two ways of tracking the location and number of trees across Earth: GO Land Cover and GO Trees. Should you make observations of trees using both of the tools?
The latest peer-reviewed publication explores GLOBE Observer participant motivations as reported through the GO Participant Survey.
Welcome
What is GLOBE Observer?
- A citizen science app allowing volunteers in GLOBE countries to take observations and contribute to the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) community
- A way to collect data to track changes in the environment in support of Earth system science research, and interpret NASA and other satellite data
- An open data set available to scientists, and supporting students of all ages in doing real scientific research through the GLOBE Program
Download the app and follow the instructions to get started. Always follow guidelines from your local officials, and only participate in GLOBE activities or use the GLOBE Observer app if it is safe to do so.
In 2020, the GLOBE community was dedicated to staying connected, adapting to a changing world, and continuing to do meaningful Earth science. Here are a few highlights of the things we accomplished. Read more about GLOBE in 2020.
