The GLOBE Land Cover Challenge 2022: Land Cover in a Changing Climate marks the 50th anniversary of the Landsat Program and provides ground-based photos and information to support its remarkable record of land cover. To participate in the challenge, choose any location, then use the GLOBE Observer app to photograph the land in each cardinal direction, then submit the photos to GLOBE. If you document a location that has changed, you can add information about the change in the field notes. Observations from any location—whether it has changed or not—are valuable. You can also participate by joining Camp Landsat. The challenge runs 26 July through 26 August 2022.  >>

The Zika Bus is a non-formal education project created by scientist leads, Dr. Rodrigo Arantes Reis and Dr. Emerson Joucoski, Federal University of Parana (UFPR), Brazil. The bus is a mobile museum and science laboratory that supports mosquito vector education in small cities and rural areas. The bus travels to schools, community health events, and science fairs offering experiential mosquito vector education to communities that don’t have access to the science and public health outreach of larger cities.  >>
