We are excited to announce that, starting in September, you will receive an email from NASA that aligns your land cover observations with satellite data (similar to GLOBE Clouds)! Your observations will be compared to MODIS land cover classification data, and Landsat 8 and 9 and Sentinel 2 images collected within a week of the observation.  >>

The August 2025 GLOBE Observer app update introduces two new features–practice mode and the ability to submit extra cloud photos–and adds new satellites to the overpass predictor.  >>

The SEES program offers teams of high school interns across the United States the opportunity to conduct research with NASA data under expert mentors. In 2025, nine of the teams included GLOBE in their research.  >>

Do you live in the southeastern United States? You can become a NASA Response Mapper this hurricane season (Aug. 1–Oct. 31)! Land cover photos submitted through the GLOBE Observer app before and after a storm can help disaster response teams track conditions on the ground.  >>

In a recent partnership, NASA SnowEx scientists partnered with the GLOBE community to measure water in snow.  >>

Artificial intelligence or AI is more than a buzz word: it can be a powerful tool and it is enhancing GLOBE for good. A recent paper summarized how AI is smoothing both how you submit GLOBE data and how scientists analyze GLOBE data. In particular, AI screens your photos the moment you submit them, and later, scientists are using AI image analysis to classify mosquito larvae or land cover in your photos.  >>

The GLOBE community contributed to the success of SciStarter's Million Acts of Science challenge through observations using the GLOBE Observer app in April.  >>

What if today’s GLOBE observations could be used to peer back in time? That’s what Dr. Yoseline Angel is trying to do with your photos of flowering plants and trees.  >>

The GLOBE Program recently celebrated its 30th Anniversary on Earth Day, 22 April 2025. Ten years ago, work began to develop the GLOBE Observer app, and it formally launched in 2016 with the first tool, Clouds. Read more about our accomplishments from the last nearly ten years.  >>

GLOBE is going to camp! GLOBE is pleased to offer a new resource guide that provides camp educators with activities and programming ideas built on GLOBE Observer. The new guide will help campers monitor the conditions of clouds, water, and plants, to study change over time.  >>
