Program Description

Event Details

Families and individuals will learn about the free Globe Observer application and become a Citizen Scientist!  The GLOBE Observer app extends the reach of the GLOBE Program by providing a way for you, as a citizen scientist in Land Cover, to make observations and contribute.  Your observations help scientists track changes in water, plants, and other life in support of Earth system science research. Scientists can also use this data to help interpret NASA and other satellite data.
