We’ve discussed how the mosquito story is a climate story and a human story, looking at climate history and human history. Contemporary climate change is now playing a role in the expansion of vector borne disease- not only in space but also in time. How many days are mosquitoes active in your city? You can find out by using this Disease Danger Day tool:  http://www.climatecentral.org/news/us-faces-a-rise-in-mosquito-disease-danger-days-21903 . I live in Colorado, so I selected Denver, and found out that since 1970 there are now 10 more days a year on average when mosquitoes are...

It is the middle of winter here in Maryland, and it is cold!  We had a lot of snow last week, and are expecting more precipitation later this week.  Even though I know we have no active mosquitoes outside, I am still using the GLOBE Observer Mosquito Habitat Mapper.  If you are also living somewhere where mosquitoes aren't currently active, we hope you will consider collecting data as well, so you will be prepared when active mosquito season arrives.   Wondering what kind of data you can collect when there are no active mosquitoes?  Great question! ...

Each month, we will highlight some web sites and/or literature that might be of interest to Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign participants. January 2019 "What do Satellites Tell us About Trees?" https://go.nasa.gov/2qlGDxG "Seeing Forests for the Trees and the Carbon: Mapping for the World's Forests in Three Dimensions" https:go.nasa.gov/2QNgjhT  

WE NEED YOUR TREE HEIGHT DATA: TAKING MEASUREMENTS IS SUPER EASY! During each IOP, GLOBE students will: Take measurements of tree height and one additional protocol, from the suite of campaign protocols found at  https://www.globe.gov/web/trees-around-the-globe/overview/start-taking-measurements ,   take measurements at least three times per week for one month at the same study site for both protocols. The tree height measurements should be of the same trees each time for each site. You can have multiple sites, thus increasing the number of trees...
