GLOBE Meets Natural Inquirer Opportunity
 A great opportunity for in-service teachers in your network or pre-service teachers in your classrooms!
The GLOBE Program in partnership with the USDA Forest Service is looking for K-12 pre- and in-service educators to write a blog or social media post connecting an issue of the Natural Inquirer with GLOBE protocols and/or learning activities. Crosswalks will be published on the GLOBE website and shared with educators in both communities.
$$$ Stipends for published pieces! $$$
Share this flyer with your networks, or use as a classroom assignment with your pre-service teachers!
The Natural Inquirer is a free USDA Forest Service science journal for K-12 students.
GLOBE Partners Elevate Citizen Science at CitSciVirtual and NASA CitSciCon
The GLOBE Program was launched on Earth Day, 1994 providing “students and the public worldwide with the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to our understanding of the Earth system and global environment” (GLOBE, n.d.). As such, GLOBE is one of the first citizen science programs in the country. GLOBE Partners and community members continue to elevate this work every day. In the spring of 2021, 13 presentations were given by GLOBE Partners at the CitSciVirtual conference and the NASA CitSciCon. BRAVO contributors!

The South Dakota Discovery Center is using the GLOBE Observer Land Cover protocol as part of its watershed information and outreach efforts. The project is used to collect information on shorelines and riparian areas that will help watershed managers understand the hydrology over time. Climate change is expected to amplify floods and droughts and having an accessible historical data set of images through the GLOBE Observer Land Cover data will help watershed managers understand water quantity and water quality issues.
