Celebrating the Community and Legacy of GLOBE Observer
24 September 2025, 14:00–15:30 UTC
Since 2016, the NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative has implemented GLOBE Observer. This presentation will highlight NESEC’s approach to building an expanded GLOBE community to include individuals and communities outside of schools through partnerships. These partnerships are now poised to enhance the capacities and capabilities of the GLOBE Program. In addition to expanding the types of individuals and organizations that participate in GLOBE, the partnerships have resulted in a rich resource library available to support the GLOBE community into the future. Join us to learn more and celebrate the work and impact of the GLOBE Observer team and app over the years!
