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.

Bridging Observations from Space and Ground: Citizen Science's Role in Monitoring Alaska's River Ice
In Alaska, volunteers under programs like Fresh Eyes on Ice and The GLOBE Program collect critical data that feeds into larger research frameworks. By combining multi-satellite imagery and ground-level observations, scientists can observe and analyze ice conditions with unprecedented detail and accuracy.

Supporting GLOBE Student Investigations of the Eclipse
During the eclipse, as the moon comes between us and the Sun, we will experience a sudden change in the amount of Sun’s energy reaching our surface. This can cause changes in our atmosphere including changes in air temperature, surface temperature, clouds, and wind. This can make for interesting GLOBE student research!
