NASA's LEARN Project (Long-term Engagement in Authentic Research) is looking for STEM teachers, grades 6-12, to join a Research Team that will collaborate with NASA scientists on authentic research projects. Selected teachers receive training focused on atmospheric science and become GLOBE certified. After a 2-week summer on-site training, teachers continue their research through 2015 with virtual Research Team meetings and data presentations, and earn a stipend for participation. Teachers may also submit proposals for travel funding to present their research at related conferences. Application is open to U.S. citizens only. Applications are due April 21, 2014, online at: http://science-edu.larc.nasa.gov/LEARN/. GLOBE Workshop to cover Atmosphere Protocols.  >>

Every year on April 22, over a billion people in 190 countries take action for Earth Day. GLOBE students plant trees, clean up their communities, contact their elected officials, and more—all on behalf of the environment.  >>

GLOBE students across the Europe and Eurasia Region have been focused on atmosphere since the Aerosols Campaign started in mid-September. Aerosols are tiny particles suspended in the air. They influence the air quality on both a local and global scale. Aerosol air pollution comes from natural as well as human sources and it is hazardous for human health, causing, for example, respiratory problems. GLOBE students will help scientists to monitor aerosols in the proximity of their school.  >>

The Surface Temperature Field Campaign will engage as many GLOBE students as possible to take surface temperature observations during the month of December 2013.  >>
