Student Climate Research Campaign - Student Climate Research Campaign
Welcome to the Student Climate Research Campaign Community Group
The GLOBE Student Climate Research Campaign (SCRC) aims to engage students around the world in measuring, investigating, and understanding the climate system in their local communities and the world. Drawing on GLOBE protocols and data - and other important datasets - students take climate-related measurements and investigate research questions about climate during the two year campaign.
The 2013 GLOBE Virtual Student Conference has begun! Check out what students have been learning about during Phase Two of the SCRC.

See what Dr. Waleed Abdalati, NASA's Chief Scientist, has to say about the campaign:
By participating in the SCRC campaign, students will contribute to climate science studies, connect with other schools and classrooms around the globe, and be inspired to explore and conduct science investigations of their own as part of their increased awareness of climate-related environmental issues and Earth as a system.
In order to participate in the SCRC, do any one or all of these three linked components to enhance teaching and understanding of climate issues:
|
These introductory activities allow students to study real data and understand key concepts of weather and climate. |
|
2. Intensive Observing Periods Students from around the world are encouraged to take themed measurements over a short period of time, and analyze their data. |
|
Students may identify and carry out their own research projects, either alone or with other schools in their country and around the world. |
