Organizing your AOI and Land Cover Observations
Hello! My name is Sophia and I live in San Diego, California. I
recently finished making all 37 observations for my AOI, which I did
over the course of exactly one week. I took observations almost every
day, spreading out my data-collecting, which I recommend if you start
well before your data deadline so you don’t get too burnt out!
To start, I generated my AOI grid. Make sure to look at your grid
in satellite view to ensure that the vast majority of the
points are accessible. Zoom into each point to see ...

La Nube, El Paso’s science museum, hosted a LEGO summer camp for
elementary level students this past July. The event contained various
science experiments and activities that the physics department from EL
Paso Community College provided, teaching the little ones the basics
on science while having fun.
The contributions from NASA’s GLOBE partner, headquartered at the
Transmountain campus, provided a unique take on LEGO’s. GLOBE at
EPCC-TM provided a satellite imagery activity using LEGOs. Developed
by Holli Kohl, the activity involved using satellite imagery with ...

🌤️ Mission Overview
The 2025 Aviation Weather Mission brings together Civil Air Patrol
cadets (ages 12–20) and senior members across the country to
contribute meaningful aviation weather data as part of a national
collaboration with NASA Earth Science. Participants record real-time
airport conditions, GLOBE Cloud observations, and aircraft details,
supporting satellite collocations provided by the NASA GLOBE Clouds
team at NASA Langley Research Center. These observations help ...

For my (Area of Interest) AOI project I collected my 37 points using
GLOBE observer, google maps, and a grid creator. These tools made
collecting my data points a lot easier.
To start I plotted where all my AOI points would be based on a
central point. Using CVS and GeoJson files I was able to get all 37
AOI points in that area. When choosing a center point for your grid
you should consider things that will affect your ability to take
photos before placing your center point. Originally I had placed my
AOI points in West Bloomfield but due to the large amount of private ...

I did
my AOI centered at a point near the entrance of my old elementary
school, Wilshire Elementary, in Euless, which is where I live. I
finished my 37 field observations in the span of exactly 7 days. This
allowed me to have more breathing space when collecting my data. When
strategizing a plan to get this done, I decided to keep my process as
simple and efficient as possible while utilizing applications such as
Google My Maps, EarthMap, and the link to generate the CSV and GeoJSON
files for the AOI.
To start, I headed to the application that was provided by ...

As we approach the summer months, we have time to reflect on our
progress with our students thus far, whether it be in an informal or
formal setting. We also can account how we have incorporated GLOBE
resources in our work. Already, we saw various water coolers present
innovative talks on how we can engage participants better, like
utilizing library resources. We saw in the GLOBE Observer CONNECT
series highlight data collected through the GLOBE Observer app and the
results and analysis of the 2024 eclipse event. And as we celebrate
GLOBE’s 30 year anniversary, we can take ...
