The GLOBE Program will be hosting a teacher professional development webinar entitled, “Writing Research Questions.”  >>

During this webinar, Dr. Kevin Czajkowski will help participants develop grade-appropriate research questions and discuss ways to incorporate narrower but more frequent field investigations throughout the school year. In preparation, teachers are encouraged to have a couple research questions to share with the group.  >>

The GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO) is hosting an informational webinar about the 2016 GLOBE Distinguished Educator Fellowship at 20:00 UTC on 12 November 2015. Presenters will be Mr. John Moore, the 2015 GLOBE Distinguished Educator Fellow, and Dr. Julie Malmberg, GIO Education and Outreach.  >>

Research involves teams of scientists collaborating across continents. Now, using the power of the Internet, non-specialists can participate too. During this two-day workshop, K-12 teachers will participate in two Citizen Science Projects -- The GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) Program and CoCoRaHS (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network). During Part 1 participants will be trained in atmospheric protocols and how to submit data. Upon completion of Part 1, participants will be prepared to participate in both The GLOBE Project and CoCoRaHS. During the time between Part 1 and 2, participants will be expected to collect and submit data, doing “real science. During Part 2, participants will share their experiences in collecting and submitting data and apply this learning to citizen science projects based on recent NASA satellite missions, coordinated through The GLOBE Program. Participants will then apply the protocols to solid forms of precipitation. After the two-day workshop, each participant will be a certified GLOBE and CoCoRaHS teacher and prepared to bring these two projects into their classroom. Participants will receive the following materials: Rain Gauge, Snow Depth Gauge, Tips for Building a Snow Board, and Cloud Chart.  >>

A GLOBE Program/SMAP Soil Moisture Field Campaign Webinar, entitled “Shout-out to, and Reporting by, the Top 3 Teams Collecting SMAP Block Pattern Soil Moisture Data During Month 1 (October 2015) of the Campaign,” will be held Thursday, 29 October 2015 at 4 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time (8 p.m. UTC).  >>

On 20 October (3:30 PDT/6:30 EDT), a special webinar will be held for educators covering the OLYMPEX ground validation campaign.  >>

GLOBE is hosting a new data entry challenge from 11-17 October 2015! Data collection is at the heart of The GLOBE Program – and it takes a world to contribute the scientific and environmental measurements that help GLOBE fulfill its vision of a worldwide community of students, teachers, scientists, and citizens working together to better understand, sustain, and improve Earth's environment at local, regional, and global scales. GIO is calling on you to dig in even deeper and continue to make your data count! With your help, it all adds up!  >>
