May 2015 News Brief  >>

SMAP data will eventually reveal how soil moisture conditions are changing over time in response to climate and how this impacts regional water availability.  >>

The GLOBE Europe and Eurasia Regional Coordination Office has launched a video campaign to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of The GLOBE Program.  >>

The GLOBE Program is pleased to announce the 2016 GLOBE International Virtual Science Fair! As part of GLOBE's 20th Anniversary celebration, we are asking GLOBE students to share their research with the world.  >>

In celebration of Earth Day 2015, and GLOBE's 20th Anniversary, more than 240 schools answered the call to not just count the data, but to make the data count. More than 160,000 measurements were added to the GLOBE database during the Data Entry Challenge that took place over Earth Week (20-24 April).  >>

Data from the radiometer instrument on NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observatory have led to the creation of new maps of global soil moisture. The new images (each a composite of three days of SMAP radiometer data, collected in April) show the volumetric water content in the top 2 inches (5 centimeters) of soil. These uncalibrated soil moisture images will be evaluated during the calibration and validation phase of SMAP's science mission, which begins on 10 May.  >>
