ColourFall Overview

ColourFall

Welcome to the project!

A message from Brian Campbell (NASA) to participating Teachers and Students in Ireland.

Project dates : October 5th - November 17th 2023

Students will observe and report plant green-down to help validate the end of the plant growing season. Data uploaded to the GLOBE database can be used by scientists and students to see how green-down played out at different locations this year, or to compare green-down at a location over the years. Will trees react differently this year, following on from the unusual rainfall and temperatures we experienced this summer?
