Joining the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign? Experience New Solve It! For Kids Podcast “Why Measure the Height of Trees”
Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign
In conjunction with Earth Observation Day, 11 October (which is part of Earth Science Week; 09-15 October), Year 05 of the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign will begin! The focus for Year 5 will be: “Looking at Change Over Time and Organizing Student Research.”
The goal of the campaign is to help teachers guide students with their student research projects focusing on tree height, land cover, greenings (green-up/green-down), and carbon cycle by showcasing how to use new and archived GLOBE data, online data tools and maps, and bringing together GLOBE schools for project collaboration for the International Virtual Science Symposium (IVSS) 2023.
