Session 3 of the North America Partner Onboarding and Sustainability Series is focused on Partner opportunities and GLOBE communications.  >>

The GLOBE Program offers a range of protocols and a robust database that community scientists can use to collect environmental data in a variety of settings. Participants will learn water, soil, weather, and biomass protocols and explore how GLOBE fits with their projects and audiences.

Objectives:

1.    How to use GLOBE Observer (cloud and tree height specifically)

2.    A better understanding of the depth and breadth of GLOBE protocol measurements

3.    How GLOBE could be used in their setting/audiences, including how to set up a GLOBE project (team and/or geofence project), and access GLOBE data

4.    Next steps for engaging with GLOBE and resources (including people)

The goal of the workshop is to facilitate a dialogue between scientists and practitioners using PM2.5 Low-Cost Sensor (LCS) data in their research and the learning science communities utilizing localized networks.  >>

Educators, students, U.S. Partners, scientists, and alumni from the United States are invited to gather and discuss GLOBE student research projects at the Virtual Student Research Symposium (SRS). This event will include presentations of student research and an opportunity to meet and talk with scientists, STEM professionals, and peers.  >>

Learn about Elementary GLOBE Storybook Learning Activities and Extensions created by GLOBE Mentor Trainer Lynne Hehr.  >>

In this state of Trees Campaign webinar on 29 April, students at the National University (UN) of Comahue in Argentina and at the University of Texas (UT) at Tyler in the United States will share how they collaborated to research the impact of trees on carbon storage and surface temperature.   >>

We’re celebrating GLOBE turning 30 with a data challenge birthday bash! Shishmaref High School students in Kigiqtaq, Alaska, invite GLOBE students and educators to participate in an air temperature challenge! From 22 April through 6 May, learn about collecting temperature measurements with Adrian and Hailey from the University of Alaska Fairbanks as they introduce the protocol, add water to ice in a beaker, add thermometers, and check the temperature.  >>

Session 2 of the North America Partner Onboarding and Sustainability Series is focused on Partner activities, roles, and responsibilities and managing accounts.  >>

Join Theresa Schwerin, Institute for Global Environmental Strategies, and the U.S. GLOBE Coordination Office to learn about GLOBE resources available for libraries, including hands-on STEAM activities that can support either the Collaborative Summer Library Program (Color Our World) or iREAD (Level up at your Library with games and puzzles).  >>

Dr. Elizabeth Burakowski, Research Assistant Professor at the University of New Hampshire, will share about the research she does on the vernal window, or winter-spring shoulder season, and how it aligns with the GLOBE North America Phenology Campaign. She will also talk about activities that align with her work and answer questions!  >>
