Join the GLOBE Water Bodies Intensive Observation Period (23 March-17 April)
The GLOBE community is leading a “GLOBE Water Bodies Intensive Observation Period” (IOP) from 23 March through 17 April, 2020. All GLOBE countries are invited to join in this data collection and research endeavor. During the IOP, participants will identify a water body close to their schools or towns, and collect and enter data using GLOBE hydrosphere protocol bundles: Water Quality Bundle, Rivers and Lakes Bundle, and Ocean Bundle.
Schools that participate can earn virtual badges, and have them displayed on their school profile. Regional Coordination Offices will issue a GLOBE certificate of appreciation to each school that participates in the IOP.
