Trees Around the GLOBE Intensive Observation Period

Trees Around the GLOBE Intensive Observation Period


On Wednesday, April 6th, 2022, the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign held a special kick-off webinar for the Spring 2022 Tree Height and Land Cover Intensive Observation Period (in collaboration with the GLOBE European Phenology Campaign, United Nations Environment Programme/Global Resource Information Center Warsaw Centre, GLOBE Poland, and the Urban Heat Island Effect - Surface Temperature Field Campaign).

NASA Science Activation’s Globe Mission Earth and NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (NESEC) project teams were there to present the GLOBE protocols: Land Cover, Trees, Precipitation, and Surface Temperature. Participants in this April 22 – May 22 campaign can use the GLOBE Observer App to enter their own observations/data and compare it data with satellite data from ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2), GEDI (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation) on the International Space Station, Landsat 9, and GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement satellite). Participants can also earn a digital badge from GLOBE for entering their data.

This webinar was attended live, by participants from Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Greece, India, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, Malta, Peru, Poland, Switzerland, and the United States.

Kickoff Webinar Presentations included:

Introductions and More About the Spring 2022 Tree Height and Land Cover IOP (Peter Falcon and Brian Campbell, NESEC)
GPM, Climate Change and Trees (Dorian Janney)
Looking at Trees from Below - European Phenology Campaign (Bara Semerakova)
GLOBE: Study the Urban Heat Island Effect (Dr. Kevin Czajkowski, GLOBE Mission Earth)
UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 25 years of GLOBE Poland (Ela Wołoszyńska-Wiśniewska)

NASA Returns to Arctic Studying Summer Sea Ice Melt

What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic, and a new NASA mission is helping improve data modeling and increasing our understanding of Earth’s rapidly changing climate. Changing ice, ocean, and atmospheric conditions in the northernmost part of Earth have a large impact on the entire planet. That’s because the Arctic region acts […]

NASA-Funded Studies Explain How Climate Is Changing Earth’s Rotation

Researchers used more than 120 years of data to decipher how melting ice, dwindling groundwater, and rising seas are nudging the planet’s spin axis and lengthening days. Days on Earth are growing slightly longer, and that change is accelerating. The reason is connected to the same mechanisms that also have caused the planet’s axis to […]

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
