Become an Armchair Cloud Expert and Help NASA Scientists Along the Way |
|
Would you like to help NASA scientists advance their understanding of Earth’s atmosphere and climate from the comfort of your own home? The Zooniverse's people-powered research platform and GLOBE have partnered to form CLOUD GAZE (Community science project Leveraging Online and User Data through GLOBE and Zooniverse Engagement).
NASA GLOBE CLOUD GAZE allows citizen scientists to look at cloud photographs submitted to GLOBE through The GLOBE Program’s GLOBE Observer app, and to identify elements such as the presence or absence of clouds, dust storms, smoke plumes, and haze layers. In addition, participants can identify cloud types and point out any other noteworthy observations. Information gathered from CLOUD GAZE will be merged with GLOBE cloud observations and matched to information from multiple satellites to create data quality flags and make the cloud data more usable for research by atmospheric scientists at NASA.
"All you have to do is check out a couple of quick tutorials and then get to work — except that this doesn't feel at all like work," said Marilé Colón Robles, principal investigator for CLOUD GAZE and the NASA GLOBE Clouds lead at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, USA. "You're looking at pictures of clouds, after all. It's actually a nice break from work, and maybe even a little addictive."

Campaign Begins Again in October!
|
|
The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE)-Surface Temperature Field Campaign is hosting a webinar on 08 September, at 06.00 p.m. EDT: “Explore Earth: What is Making My Neighborhood So Hot?”
Join in the conversation about the campaign with GLOBE’s UHIE scientist, Dr. Kevin Czajkowski (Dr. C., from the University of Toledo, Ohio, USA). Dr. C. leads the campaign, which studies urban heat islands around the world. During the webinar, participants will learn about the phenomenon of the “urban heat island effect,” where there is an increase in surface temperature due to a neighborhood’s surroundings (such as buildings and paved surfaces).
Dr. C. will explain urban heat islands, and why students should study them. Students taking surface temperatures in their neighborhoods examine those surfaces and develop solutions on how to reduce their heat islands. Students collect and submit surface temperature data at any time, but the campaign focuses on data collection in October, December, and March. A brief review of the GLOBE protocols will be given. Dr. C. will showcase heat islands in various locations on Earth using GLOBE and NASA satellite data. Resources from GLOBE and NASA will be featured.
Join the Campaign – Begins Again 01 October!
Teachers: Do you and your students want to join the UHIE-Surface Temperature Field Campaign, which begins 01 October? Sign up for eTraining (through a course in Google classroom), where you will receive support throughout the school year. For more information, contact Janet Struble at: janet.struble2@utoledo.edu.

Read New DEI Blog “Bringing Relevant and Meaningful Learning for
Youth in Rural Villages in Alaska”
|
|
Have you had a chance to read the most recent “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) blog, written by Rosalba Giarratano, NASA Pathways Intern, and member of the GLOBE Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Working Group?
“Today I had the privilege to talk to Dr. Elena Sparrow, a valued member of the GLOBE community since 1996! Dr. Sparrow lives in Alaska and is committed to working on bringing relevant and meaningful learning for youth in rural villages,” Rosalba said in the blog. “She introduces the scientific method without ever disregarding the knowledge the youth have acquired from their parents, their elders, and their community. As Dr. Sparrow pointed out during our conversation: ‘Accessing multiple knowledge systems allows for a richer experience.’ She constantly tries to bring GLOBE and NASA assets like satellite data and experts in topics that are relevant to the people living in rural villages in Alaska. Teachers do not tend to stay long in these very isolated places where long winters can be very harsh; therefore, Dr. Sparrow invites community members to have an ongoing connection to provide a more consistent learning experience for the youth.”
“Dr. Sparrow shared a memorable experience about four Alaska Native students she brought to the GLOBE Learning Expedition that took place in Ireland a few years ago,” Rosalba said in the blog. “They asked her if they could share who they were when told they were chosen to present their GLOBE Study. Of course, she assured them they could share who they were! Storytelling is very much a part of their lives. They decided to share a song and a dance they had created about their GLOBE project, which resulted in a beautiful, cultural experience that everyone enjoyed. Dr. Sparrow works tirelessly hoping someday soon there will be no students questioning whether it is OK to share about who they are, but instead they are all proud to let everyone else learn about their identities, talents and cultures.”
“Thank you, Dr. Sparrow, for 25 years of working to make GLOBE a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community!”

U.S. High School Students in 2021 SEES Intern Program Share Experiences Using GLOBE Observer Mosquito Habitat Mapper |
|
U.S. high school students participating in a collaboration effort between The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and the NASA Texas Space Grant Consortium (TSGC) to extend the TSGC Summer Enhancement in Earth Science (SEES) Internship program are sharing their research experiences using the GLOBE Observer Mosquito Habitat Mapper (MHM) via GLOBE’s “Community Blog.”
|
|
|
SEES MHM Intern, Om, a student from California, USA, shares: “Hi! My name is Om, and I'm a high school junior. This summer, I participated in the SEES Internship Program a partnership with UT Austin and NASA, and worked with the Mosquito Mapper cohort. I started the internship in early June with an introductory webinar where I met scientists, mentors, peer mentors, and more. I gained an overview of the expectations and outcomes that I would strive for during the following months.”
|
|
SEES MHM Intern, Prayag, a student from Texas, USA, shares: “Hello, I’m Prayag Sreenivasan, and I’m a student in the NASA SEES 2021 internship. A big part of the internship is doing hands-on research projects ourselves. With the Mosquito Mappers team, we were to utilize land cover data and mosquito mapper data with GLOBE to study mosquito populations with our projects. The first project we were assigned was to cultivate mosquitoes in about five different traps and observe how a difference in the trap environment would affect the growth and development of the mosquito population for each trap.”
|
|
SEES MHM Intern, Aseel, from Texas, USA, shares: “This summer, I am delighted to have a unique opportunity to dig deeper and learn more about mosquitoes, trends in larval habitats, and environmental satellite data. It's giving me a chance to expand my knowledge about mosquitoes. Last year, I researched and developed a low-cost and environmentally sustainable mosquito larvicide for use in large-scale vector control.”
|
|
SEES MHM Intern, Paxton, from Virginia, USA, shares: “I am working on the GLOBE Mosquito Mappers Earth Explorers Project, where I am studying mosquito habitats and vector-borne disease alongside mentors and fellow interns from all over the nation.
To get going with the internship, our mentors directed us to set up our own local ovitrap experiment. I decided to investigate the effect of natural bait type on the oviposition preferences of Central Virginia’s mosquitoes.”

Teachers: Read New GLOBE Guest Blog,
“GLOBE and Natural Inquirer Crosswalk: Phenology”
|
|
“Natural cycles are occurring all around us all the time -- but do you notice them? Place-based observation cultivates childrens’ innate sense of wonder while learning about data collection, ecosystems, climate, and plants,” guest blogger Eliza Balch said in a recent blog” “GLOBE and Natural Inquirer Crosswalk: Phenology.”
The blog discusses resources about leaf color change from the Natural Inquirer and GLOBE’s “green-down” protocol that are designed to help start off the school year engaging upper-elementary students with seasonal change. “These can be used as-is,” Balch said in the blog, “or can be grounded in a year-long observation routine of a study site using GLOBE’s What Can We Learn About Our Seasons?”
Balch, who is a water and soil scientist at the University of New Hampshire, USA, and affiliated with the University of New Hampshire Leitzel Center GLOBE Partnership, said, “These autumn lessons work well as a foundation for observing natural changes throughout the rest of the year. Learning about seasons through repeated observation in a particular location is a fun way to connect with nature around the school and learn to recognize seasonal patterns. Throughout the year, students integrate connections between physical, biological, and cultural markers of the seasons. This activity uses 1-3 class periods per month throughout the whole year, providing continuity between seasons and resulting in a cumulative display of their findings and experiences that they can be proud of completing.”
