Following the reactivation of the GLOBE
program and loaded with a full agenda, GLOBE-CHAD meets with Royal
Academy, one of the pilot schools chosen to quick off the program for
the 2024 - 2025 school year.
The one hour meeting was held in the
office of the school director, Mr Ouambi Serge , who graciously
welcomed the GLOBE team composed of the Country Coordinator, the
Country Coordinator’s Assistant in charge of outreach and the
Assistant in charge of communication.
The points of discussion included the
strategies of implementing the GLOBE program in the educational ...

Los padres de familia tienen muchas maneras de participar en la
educación de sus hijos, entre ellas se encuentran el asistir a
reuniones de padres y maestros, participar en actividades escolares,
apoyar el aprendizaje en el hogar y comunicarse regularmente con los
maestros, ayudando a sus hijos a establecer metas académicas,
brindarles apoyo emocional y motivarlos a alcanzar su máximo potencial.
Y no solo eso, el hecho de que los padres participen activamente en
la educación de sus hijos, a través de las formas mencionadas
anteriormente, ayuda a que exista una mejor ...

Desde ayer 05-09-2024, se han registrado enormes incendios desde
Brasil hasta la Argentina, observables por satélite, de no tomarse
los correctivos con el pulmón de la Amazonas corre el riesgo de
desaparecer, poniendo en peligro la poca naturaleza que le queda al
planeta. Estudios citados por el medio MetSul de metereología de
Brasil, indican que el humo puede influir en la formación de
descargas eléctricas y hay que tomar en cuenta, para estudios
avanzados que los eventos se presentan en zonas de la Anomalía del
Atlántico Sur, que sin duda juega un papel en el tiempo ...

Welcome back!
Often times we still get nervous for the first day of classes. No matter if it’s as a child walking down the intimidating halls of school or as an adult wondering if the teacher will be good and the books not so expensive, those first moments or even days of school often can be daunting. As instructors, it’s our job to engage our students and make a good first impression so we can restart the curious minds in our class. For my case, the goal is to guide my student’s learning experience using GLOBE resources to better understand the branch of science known as physics. ...

For many years, GLOBE has received Davis weather station data via email. Users signed up with Davis, and once a day, the weather station data is sent to GLOBE. While this system has worked for many years, all new Davis stations have been encouraged to use the "New way" to send their data to GLOBE which provides near real-time reporting and removes the need for email support. This "new way" is preferred by both GLOBE and Davis.
Due to recent changes in GLOBE, the "old way" of sending Davis data to GLOBE may be ending in the near future, so we'd like to move all Davis ...

In the perspective of reactivating the international science program of Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) in Chad, the US embassy hosted a work meeting within its walls and received the new team of Globe-Chad on August 8th, 2024.
This contact was intitiated by GLOBE-Chad’s team who has been in the process of reactivating the educational program in the country. Through this, many other steps have been taken towards this goal, including successful schools identification that will serve as GLOBE pilot schools, a correspondance to the Chadian authorities ...

ANOTHER STORY FROM THE IVSS 2024 IN FREDONIA
I am a member of the DEIA WG and I was supposed to be at the conference too. But a long trip and traveling for 27 hours without sleep took its toll. Instead of the conference, I finished at the hospital with a broken leg.
But my situation was not so bad, I had a lot of people thinking of me and making my stay at the hospital almost comfortable. I must declare that the UCAR and GLOBE people took my DEI situation the best they could and helped me, thinking about me and organizing my trip home.
First of all, I must thank John Ristvey ...

For those GLOBE educators wanting to sharpen their skills and become GLOBE trainers while sailing on a tall ship to collect water samples, then the North American Regional meeting (NARM) is for you! Participants from all parts of the country converged in San Pedro, CA to gain additional experience in GLOBE protocols, train to become trainers, and learn how to incorporate GLOBE in the classroom and outreach programs.
The key highlights were the "train the trainer" workshops on atmosphere and hydrosphere protocols, visit to the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, sailing on a Los Angeles Maritime ...

Eclipse 2024 – Part 1
Not even the clouds could pass up this momentous day, for this was were the bright and mighty sun was to be eclipsed by our closest celestial neighbor – our Moon. This event brought hundreds of excited and curious people to the El Paso Community College Solar Eclipse Extravaganza event so that they could safely witness this breathtaking moment, albeit only momentarily and partially. Not only did people witness this first hand, it was also the chance for them to participate with the NASA GLOBE program in collecting valuable cloud and temperature data. ...

Background
I received my formal training on GLOBE Atmosphere protocols, particularly cloud observation, in the summer of 2011. In 2016, the GLOBE Program launched the GLOBE Observer (GO) app, designed for volunteer science. The GO app is more user-friendly and focuses on specific observations anyone with a smartphone can make.
The GLOBE Program is structured and education-focused, targeting students and educators, while the GO app is intuitive and accessible to the general public. Both contribute valuable data to the scientific community and enhance public understanding of ...

Día 05-07-2024 , no cabe duda que Beryl plantea serios interrogantes, en la física de la atmósfera de la tierra, en la época actual, desde cambios significativos en la gravedad de la tierra, que pueda estar afectando la presión atmosférica por zonas, ...

In the Fall of 2023, The GLOBE Implementation Office awarded Fairmont State University and the NASA IV&V's Education Resource Center in Fairmont, WV a grant funding the Atmosphere data protocol training to prepare GLOBE teachers to become mentors for GLOBE science fair projects both at the county/state level as well as during the GLOBE International Virtual Science Symposium.
Culminating from this project, two teams of GLOBE students and their GLOBE teachers have shared their research during the 2024 GLOBE International Virtual Science Symposium.

The first time I have ever witnessed a solar eclipse was on March 29, 2006, in the southwestern part of Nigeria. As an undergraduate student who majored in Geography, I was curious to know how the celestial event would happen. Indeed, I was able to witness the partial solar eclipse which was an awe-inspiring celestial event, but was not opportune to study the effect of the unique phenomena on my local environment. When I read online late last year that the total solar eclipse will pass through Toledo, Ohio in the United States where I reside presently, I thought this might be a rare ...
