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!  >>

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.  >>
