Announcing New Land Cover Satellite Comparisons
We are excited to announce that, starting in September, you will receive an email from NASA that aligns your land cover observations with satellite data (similar to GLOBE Clouds)! Your observations will be compared to MODIS land cover classification data, and Landsat 8 and 9 and Sentinel 2 images collected within a week of the observation.  >>

Become a NASA Response Mapper!
Do you live in the southeastern United States? You can become a NASA Response Mapper this hurricane season (Aug. 1–Oct. 31)! Land cover photos submitted through the GLOBE Observer app before and after a storm can help disaster response teams track conditions on the ground.  >>

NUBE: New Card Game Helps Learners Identify Cloud Types Through Play
Different clouds types can have different effects on our weather and climate, which makes identifying cloud types important – but learning to identify cloud types can be tricky! Educational games make the learning process easier and more enjoyable for learners of all ages and create an opportunity for families and friends to spend quality time together.  >>

Two women in winter coats and hats are measuring snow depth outside of a brick building. One woman holds a tape measure in the snow, and the other is crouched down looking at the tape measure to record the depth of the snow. The crouching woman also holds a snow shovel.

GLOBE and Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence or AI is more than a buzz word: it can be a powerful tool and it is enhancing GLOBE for good. A recent paper summarized how AI is smoothing both how you submit GLOBE data and how scientists analyze GLOBE data. In particular, AI screens your photos the moment you submit them, and later, scientists are using AI image analysis to classify mosquito larvae or land cover in your photos.  >>
