This discussion forum category is designed to encourage discussion of SCRC research topics and questions that are being planned or investigated in the GLOBE community. This forum can also provide the opportunity for schools to connect when they are working on similar research topics. So please share your plans, interests, experiences, and/or questions about the research you are planning or already involved in! https://www.globe.gov/c/message_boards/find_category?p_l_id=358145&mbCategoryId=3166867 2026-04-17T08:59:23Z 2026-04-17T08:59:23Z Sarah Tessendorf https://www.globe.gov/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=358145&messageId=3191663 2012-10-16T18:27:27Z 2012-10-16T18:18:48Z

I have recently started to analyze GLOBE budburst data to answer the question "How has the timing of budburst changed over time?". I've found a couple GLOBE schools that have budburst data for at least 10 years! Some of these schools also have budburst data for more than just one species. So far in my analysis I've noticed that budburst timing is getting earlier over time, but there is a lot of variation from year-to-year. I'm going to look at other climate factors, like temperature and precipitation in particular, to see if there is a similar trend that might be causing the earlier budburst. Is anyone else doing phenology research with GLOBE data?
