Description:
Students from all over the world are participating in the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program by taking daily environmental measurements at their schools and sharing their data via the Internet. GLOBE environmental measurements are in the following study areas: Atmosphere/Climate; Hydrology/Water Chemistry; and Biology/Geology. Some features on this Web site are specially designed and available only to GLOBE teachers and students who are trained in GLOBE measurement procedures. However, most features are available to anyone wanting to learn more about GLOBE, review the scientific areas of GLOBE study, and see the GLOBE student data.
