Supporting Global Mosquito Science Research with the GLOBE Mosquito Protocol Bundle
|
|
Did you know that you can support GLOBE’s mosquito research data collection beyond the mosquito habitat mapper protocol? Combining seven protocols related the GLOBE Observer Mosquito Habitat Mapper tool (GO MHM tool), the GLOBE Mosquito Protocol Bundle takes a whole-systems approach to understanding the relationship between the environment, mosquitoes, and vector-borne disease. Citizen scientists, researchers, teachers, and students play an important role in collecting data points related to the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and soil to help researchers and public health officials better understand mosquitoes (such as breeding patterns).
Whether mosquitoes are currently active or not in your community, you can support mosquito science by taking measurements that build GLOBE’s database in the Mosquito Protocol Bundle study areas:
- Atmosphere (Air Temperature, Precipitation, Relative Humidity)
- Hydrosphere (Water Temperature, pH)P
- Pedosphere (Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature)

Have you been keeping up with the latest GLOBE Star Stories? GLOBE Stars are stories of projects, people and extraordinary activities being conducted around the world in connection to GLOBE. These GLOBE Stars are the bright lights that spark our imagination and inspire us with news of GLOBE at work in the world.
A recent GLOBE Star Story, “GLOBE Students in Malta Engage in Science – And Walk for Fun – To Be part of the Solution for a Greener Tomorrow,” shines a light on the dedicated work of GLOBE students and community members in Malta.
In early 2019, GLOBE middle school students in Gozo, Malta, focused on studying the effects of trees on urban temperatures in their surrounding communities. "This is our first year participating in The GLOBE Program, and we would like to share our investigation and how we went a step further to involve the wider community and be part of the solution to Climate Change," Ramona Mercieca, a teacher at Gozo College Middle School said.
"The alarming rate at which trees are being chopped off when ‘upgrading’ streets and the excessive rate of building in an already densely populated area prompted us to study, in detail, urban temperatures," Mercieca said.

The NASA GLOBE Clouds team has been delighted to have recent high school graduate Kevin Ivey this summer as an intern through NASA's Internships and Fellowships program. “Read about his experience this summer as he tackled big data!” NASA GLOBE Clouds Project Scientist Marilé Colón Robles said, introducing Ivey in the blog:
“I’m Kevin Ivey and I’ve been interning with NASA GLOBE Clouds at NASA Langley Research Center this summer. I graduated high school in June and I’ll be a first-year at the University of Virginia this fall where I plan to study computer science,” Ivey explained in the blog.
“My work this summer involved the GLOBE Clouds satellite matching. When a clouds observation is made, it can be matched to a variety of satellites if certain conditions are met. I investigated observations that matched to two or more satellites where the total cloud cover reported by the satellites differed by more than 10 percent, a ‘satellite mismatch.’ Through my investigation, I discovered some bugs in our current match code, leading me to redevelop the code. In addition, I found various weather patterns and conditions that are difficult for satellites to handle, both causing the mismatch and showing the need for ground observations, especially ground-based images.”

NASA JPL Summer Interns Share Experiences Using
GLOBE Observer Mosquito Habitat Mapper
|
|
Summer Intern Jacqueline Castellanos shared her scientific sleuthing with the GO MHM in her blog, “Examining the Relationship Between Mosquito Abundance and Remote Sensing Data.”
“My summer internship at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory exposed me to all parts of the scientific process. I went on a hike in search of mosquitoes, collected data, and I had the opportunity to teach teachers how to use the GLOBE Observer Mosquito Habitat Mapper. In my analysis, I learned how to work with data of varying quality and saw how environmental factors affect mosquito abundance. Most importantly, I learned that data given context and explored in meaningful ways can help us understand the problems we are facing today.”
|
|
Summer Intern Kenan Arica shared his exploratory experience with the GO MHM in his blog, “Can Social Media be Useful in the Analysis of Mosquito Habitat Mapper Data?”
“Mosquitoes are vectors for diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika, Rift Valley fever, West Nile virus, chikungunya and other diseases. Unfortunately, climate change is expected to make the spread of mosquito-borne diseases worse. This summer, I did some exploratory research to see if we could combine the power of GLOBE citizen science data and social media to learn about where mosquitoes are found.
This summer I worked with the GLOBE Observer Mosquito Habitat Mapper (MHM) data. To ensure we get the highest quality of citizen science data, I cleaned the data set and wrote code to capture nearby tweets to independently confirm GLOBE observations.”
