GISN Member Activity Form

In order to ensure the success of the GISN as an active and engaged network of STEM professionals, members are required to do one GISN-related activity per year (January-December). Please use this form to report on your GISN activities. Simply select which activity or activities that you have done in 2018 from the list provided (there is also an "other" option for you to write in activities not listed). You can fill it out as many times as you want and at any time throughout the year. It is a fast and easy way to make sure you stay active as a GISN member.

Please note that members who do not fill out the form by 01 January 2019 will be inactivated.

We are also looking for volunteers to share your experiences with the community! If you are interested in being featured in a future GISN Newsletter or blog post, please indicate so on the form and give a brief description of your experience. We would love to highlight the interesting activities our members are doing and help inspire others.

Updated Webinar

An updated version of the "Nuts and Bolts of the GISN" webinar has been added to the website. This webinar is meant as an introduction and overview of the GISN. It includes information on what the GISN is, how to apply, ways to participate, and website resources. This webinar is targeted to new and interested GISN members, but can also be a great source for existing GISN members who need a refresher on GISN participation and GLOBE resources.

Member Profile

GISN Member Michael Notaro shared his GLOBE training initiative in Wisconsin, USA, on the GISN Member Activity Form. Read below for a description of his great citizen science project.

The Wisconsin GLOBE Partner, Ms. Rosalyn Pertzborn (Space Science and Engineering Center) and Dr. Michael Notaro, Associate Director for the Nelson Institute Center for Climate Research, are conducting a three-year GLOBE training initiative. Funded by the Baldwin Foundation, with some additional support from the National Science Foundation, the project will focus on engaging school districts and community members as citizen scientists to collect data around of the Curtis Tension zone, which is a roughly east to west transitional band defining the predominantly deciduous (south) and coniferous forests (north) in the upper Midwest region. Additional partners include the Wisconsin Ice Age Trail Alliance, which coops over 600 volunteers statewide to participate in the maintenance of the roughly north to south trail crossing the Curtis Tension Zone. The kickoff workshop was conducted in Butternut, Wisconsin in August and October of 2018 with plans for the second workshop to be conducted at the Wisconsin Ice Age Trail Alliance Headquarters in Cross Plains, Wisconsin in the summer of 2019.
