The newest My NASA Data story map, Sea Ice and the Earth System, engages students in analyzing changes in sea ice extent as it relates to other spheres within the Earth System.  >>

Congratulations to GME Teacher Meredith Wolfe - chosen 2019 Conservation Educator of the Year by Local Soil/Water Conservation District! Meredith was part of GLOBE Mission EARTH's 2016 Professional Development cohort. Check out her news story here!  >>

It's March! Go outside and collect Surface Temperature data! The Urban Heat Island Effect/Surface Temperature field campaign kicks off again for the month of March, 2020!  >>

The Creation of the Urban Heat Island Story Map engages students in the exploration of the urban heat island effect using land surface temperature and vegetation data. Students also investigate the processes that create differences in surface temperatures, as well as how human activities have led to the creation of urban heat islands.  >>
