News - NASA Langley Research Center

NASA Langley Research Center trained 20 teachers on GLOBE's Carbon Cycle project on August 7, 2012. The training was part of a two-week workshop for Virginia teachers in conjunction with the MODSIM World Conference. Teachers learned about earth systems and used modeling software to project climate impacts due to changes in carbon.  >>

This year, for the first time, GLOBE students participated in the 16th GLOBE Annual Partner Meeting. The first GLOBE Student Science Symposium showcased 12 student research projects presented by individual students and student teams from four countries.  >>

Teachers engage in atmospheric investigations during week-long training at NASA Langley Research Center. During a recent GLOBE workshop at NASA Langley Research Center, teachers worked side-by-side with NASA scientists and educators to develop meaningful atmosphere investigations by using NASA's unique resources, including observations from advanced satellite systems and real-time measurements using GLOBE instrumentation and protocols. Throughout the week teachers learned about various atmosphere indicators including: Clouds & Contrails, Temperature, Surface Temperature, Relative Humidity, Precipitation, Barometric Pressure, Aerosols, and Surface Ozone. Teachers met with guest speakers from the Science Directorate and had the opportunity to ask scientists questions about NASA latest research, missions, and what it's like to be a scientist.  >>
