GLOBE Measurement Campaigns & Intensive Observation Periods

Contribute to worldwide science initiatives, collaborate with a global participant network, and learn more about Earth science systems with our GLOBE Measurement Campaigns and Intensive Observation Periods (IOPs). Our campaigns take an inquiry-based, collaborative approach that brings together students, teachers, and scientists from around the world to investigate Earth science's biggest mysteries. Similarly, IOPs involve GLOBE students, scientists, educators, and researchers collecting and entering targeted data into the GLOBE database during specific periods of time.

Available at both regional and global scales, there's many ways to get involved with GLOBE.

Campaigns & IOPs

Learn more about our different measurement campaigns below:

	Current Global Field Measurement Campaigns & IOPs Discover our active field measurement campaigns/IOPs and start collaborating with students, teachers, and scientists around the world. Important: The ongoing coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has presented challenges for various GLOBE projects. However, the initial suspension of all data collection has changed so that data collection and participation is still possible. Please visit each campaign/IOP web page to learn how you can continue to contribute to each initiative.

	Collaborating Satellite Missions NASA needs your help verifying ground-truth measurements for their various satellite missions. Learn more about how to contribute to our satellite missions below: GOES-R SMAP GPM CloudSat CALIPSO
	NASA Education Earth Science Projects Through the help of NASA funding, four GLOBE U.S. Partners are leading NASA Education Earth Science Projects focused on bringing authentic STEM experiences to local communities. Learn more about our projects below: Mission Earth AEROKATS and ROVER Education Network (AREN) Arctic and Earth SIGNs NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (NESEC)
	Regional Community Collaboration Initiatives Outside of our worldwide campaigns & IOPs, you can find a host of regional initiatives organized by the GLOBE community. Gather measurements with GLOBE protocols, upload your results, and learn more about your local environment when you participate in a regional initiative. Tip: Some regional collaboration initiatives are limited to specific countries.
