Seeing the World from All Angles: How Multi-View Crowdsourcing is Revolutionizing Land Cover Mapping

Our dynamic planet is an intricate patchwork of forests, fields, cities … However, mapping Earth's diverse landscapes is an immense challenge for scientists. Satellite imaging has its limitations, while traditional field surveys are time-consuming and sparse. Now, help is coming from an unexpected source: crowds of everyday citizen scientists. Read a summary of a new scientific paper exploring the power of crowdsourcing for land cover data. >>

Spotlight on the October 2023 Annular Eclipse

Thank you to everyone who participated in data collection during the annular solar eclipse on 14 October 2023! Our team is working on a more detailed analysis of the data (stay tuned for more on that later), but we wanted to share a few preliminary stats and highlight some images from volunteer scientists and GLOBE Observer team members. >>

On this day, the Moon will move between the Earth and Sun, blocking all but a glowing ring of light for several minutes. What happens in the atmosphere when the Moon blocks the Sun’s light, even briefly? GLOBE invites everyone to help answer that question by recording changes in temperature and sky conditions on 14 October, even if you are only experiencing a partial >>

Laying the Groundwork for Land Cover Satellite Comparisons

This summer, NASA Intern Sidd Jasti worked on creating code to compare observations collected via the GLOBE Observer Land Cover tool to various NASA satellite data products and imagery and compile it in a table to share with users. Read on to learn about Sidd's process and the resulting comparison table. >>
