The Eclipse Soundscapes Project: Experience an Eclipse with All of Your Senses
Solar eclipses can generate lots of excitement, but we often talk about “seeing” or “viewing” an eclipse as if it were a purely visual phenomenon. However, there are many ways to experience a solar eclipse. You may feel the air get chilly. You may also feel or hear the wind change. Plus, you can listen as animals around you respond to these changes. Eclipse Soundscapes provides a way for you to report your observations of animal behavior.  >>

A Call for Daily Observations of Fall Color to Support Student Research Campaigns
GLOBE students across North America and Europe are working together to document seasonal change this September through December. The Trees Within LAC (Latin America and Caribbean region) Campaign is also collecting information about the tree species of the localities where students reside and their dynamics over time. We invite volunteers of all ages and in all countries to support their work by collecting regular Trees and Land Cover data with GLOBE Observer.   >>
