GLOBE at Night 2013
GLOBE at Night is a worldwide, hands-on science and education program to encourage citizen-scientists worldwide to record the brightness of their night sky. During five select sets of dates in 2013, children and adults match the appearance of a constellation (Orion or Leo in the northern hemisphere, and Orion and Crux in the southern hemisphere) with seven star charts of progressively fainter star  >>

Great Global Investigation of Climate
This global investigation will focus on defining local climate through GLOBE protocols and the student inquiry question "What is my climate and how has it changed?" Students are asked to collect and enter temperature and precipitation data in the GLOBE database and investigate how to classify local weather and climate using these atmospheric data.  >>

GLOBE Phenology and Climate Project
Plants are flowering faster than climate change models predict, according to a recent BBC report that was lartely based on results published in the journal Nature. Longer growing seasons may affect insects, allergens, animal migrations and may mean the need for more water -- to name a few of the potential impacts. Students can now take a leadership role in researching how seasonal patterns are changing while learning about the important relationship between plants and climate by taking part in the Student Climate Research Campaign's (SCRC) GLOBE Phenology and Climate Project.  >>

Climate and Land Cover Project
The Climate and Land Cover Intensive Observing Period is a research effort between GLOBE schools and climate scientists to improve land cover classifications for climate models. Using GLOBE land cover protocols, students take photographs and classify representative land cover areas near their schools and upload these data to the GLOBE database. These data can be used by students to compare land cover around the world and will be used by scientists to improve land cover classifications for climate models.  >>

7th GLOBE Japan Student Conference
The 7th GLOBE Japan Student Conference will take place in Tokyo from 14 – 16 December 2012. The conference is the largest gathering of GLOBE students in Japan to present their student research of the last two years.  >>

Surface Temperature Field Campaign
The Surface Temperature Field Campaign, held annually since 2006, focuses on the impacts of snow on Earth's temperature. GLOBE partner Dr. Kevin Czajkowski and researchers at the University of Toledo, Ohio, USA, would like to engage as many GLOBE students as possible to take surface temperature observations during the during the month of December 2012.  >>

GLOBE India Science Festival
The GLOBE Regional Help Desk Office for Asia Pacific is organizing the GLOBE Science Festival from 29 -31 October 2012 at Vishwa Yukav Kendra in New Delhi, India. Scientists, research scholars, academicians, students and teachers from India, Nepal, Thailand and the United States will share their GLOBE research projects, activities and achievements.  >>

10/14/2012 - 10/20/2012
Earth Science Week
Since October 1998, the American Geological Institute has organized this national and international event to help the public gain a better understanding and appreciation for the Earth Sciences and to encourage stewardship of the Earth. This year's Earth Science Week will be held from October 14-20 and will celebrate the theme "Our Ever-Changing Earth."  >>
