Join us for this month’s GLOBE Observer Connect on 25 June at 12 pm ET (16:00 UTC) to talk to Brian Campbell about studying trees with new technology. Brian will be joined by Dr. Sorin Popescu, Research Scientist, Professor, and ICESat-2 Mission Principal Investigator at the Texas A&M University Department of Ecology & Conservation Biology, in College Station, Texas USA  >>

Join GLOBE at the Conference for Advancing Participatory Sciences online between 3 June and 6 June 2024.  >>

On Tuesday, 28 May 2024, at 2:00 am ET (6:00 UTC) Brian Campbell will lead a live discussion from the 2024 Japan Geoscience Union Meeting (JAXA): Revisiting the Water-Land-Tree Boundary and the “2023 Where is the Water Challenge” through the use on NASA Datasets and NASA Worldview.  >>

Join us on 21 May at 12:00 pm ET (16:00 UTC) for an informal conversation with Mosquito Habitat Mapper science lead Rusty Low and GLOBE volunteers who are working to find mosquito habitats in Arizona.  >>

Landscape features and environmental factors such as temperature and precipitation variations across seasons and years influence mosquito abundance and diversity. We are exploring how different remote sensing datasets related to environmental conditions and land surface characteristics can help better characterize mosquito habitat conditions. The goal is to understand mosquitoes' ecology, including the seasonality, range dispersal, abundance, and environmental determinants of their distribution through in situ data to develop ecological models to estimate species richness and predict species occurrences.  >>

On 22 April, The GLOBE Program will celebrate its 29th anniversary with the annual Earth Day broadcast at 11 am ET (15:00 UTC). If you are in or near Washington, D.C., NASA is hosting an Earth Day event at NASA Headquarters, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm ET on 18-19 April. If you plan to stay closer to home, you can host your own Earth Day event with NASA’s Earth Day Everywhere Toolkit.  >>

Please join us for GLOBE Observer Connect on 25 April at 12:00 pm ET (16:00 UTC) featuring you. We want to hear about your experiences with GLOBE Eclipse!  >>

The 8 April total solar eclipse is nearly here! Are you ready? Marilé Colón Robles and Kristen Weaver are available live at 12 p.m. ET on 2 April for final questions before the eclipse.  >>

Join us on 21 March to learn from Marilé Colón Robles about cloud formation and how the total solar eclipse may have an impact on those processes, and from Ashlee Autore about her analysis of cloud observations during the annular eclipse on 14 October 2023, and what she hopes to explore with further data from the total solar eclipse on 08 April.  >>

Join the GLOBE Mission Mosquito and Land Cover team for a professional development webinar to explore how open science collaboration tools empower students to tackle real-world challenges alongside a worldwide network of researchers.  >>
