30 Years of GLOBE Campaign Webinar Recordings Now Available (17 October and 23 October)
The 30 Years of GLOBE Campaign kicked off in October with a webinar on GLOBE data student research presentations and the 30 Years of GLOBE data campaign introduction.
30 Years of GLOBE Data Campaign Introduction
On 23 October Dr. Charles Vörösmarty, the GIO Science Lead, introduced the 2024-2025 30 Years of GLOBE Campaign: Comparing GLOBE Data Past and Present. In the webinar, Dr. Vörösmarty discussed how humans have impacted the global landscapes that have led to changes in the Earth system, including extreme events and the need for interdisciplinary approaches in addressing the impacts of human infrastructure. Creating solutions through research and data collection is key, and GLOBE can plan an important role in supporting solutions-oriented thinking in tackling and understanding the changing environments.

GLOBE Data Student Research Presentations on Agrivoltaic Farming and Urban Heat Islands
On 17 October two student research teams presented GLOBE data research projects. The Agrivoltaic Farming for Performance Optimization student research team members explained their research study in analyzing the impact of solar arrays on surrounding vegetation in agrivoltaic farming. They shared how this approach can enhance agricultural yields while promoting renewable energy. The Understanding Urban Heat Islands student research team explained their insights into the factors contributing to Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) and implications for urban communities. This webinar was in partnership with GLOBE Mission Mosquito and the NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (NESEC).
