Community Research Reports
Community Research Reports
Explore research projects from around the world through GLOBE's searchable database. While most reports have been created by students, GLOBE citizen scientists of all ages are encouraged to contribute and share their work. From studies on bacteria in the Mississippi River to microplastics in the Adriatic Sea, these reports showcase how GLOBE observations support scientific investigations in communities worldwide.
Browse the collection of reports below. Filter reports by location, protocol, topic, grade level, and more to discover ideas, learn from others, or inspire your next investigation.

Tip: Research Reports can be uploaded in any language.
Share Your Work at a GLOBE Symposium
GLOBE symposia provide opportunities for students to showcase their research, connect with peers, and receive feedback on their work. Throughout the year, GLOBE hosts six U.S. Regional Student Research Symposia where students present their investigations and engage with the broader GLOBE community.
Learn more about participating in this year's U.S. symposia.
GLOBE also hosts the annual GLOBE International Virtual Science Symposium, a global science fair that engages students in scientific inquiry within their own communities. Participants can present their projects in creative ways, attend live webinars with scientists, and explore research from around the world.
