GLOBE Research Done in the Time of COVID: Students Showcase Their Work

GLOBE Research Done in the Time of COVID: Students Showcase Their Work


On May 13, 2021, the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Midwest Earth System Science (ESS) Collaborative held the GLOBE Midwest ESS Virtual Science Symposium, featuring GLOBE work done by 3rd-12th graders from 11 Midwest area schools. 25 projects involving over 80 students were shared live or virtually via video. 15 subject matter experts (SMEs) provided feedback on the students’ work.

Students had options to submit project research papers or an artistic expression (video, song, poem, essay, poster, drawing) on what GLOBE means to them. Scientists, local officials and parents attended the live event.

Five teachers were chosen randomly and awarded money used to purchase GLOBE equipment for their schools thanks to a generous donation from YLACES (Youth Learning as Citizen Environmental Scientists). The teacher winners were the following: Laurie Fox - Butternut School - Butternut, Wisconsin; Melody Tsapranis - Navarre Elementary School - Toledo, Ohio; Molly Duhamel - Otsego Junior High School - Bowling Green, Ohio; Janene Smith - St. Peter’s Jr. & Senior High School and Abbie Smith - Millcreek-West Unity (Hilltop) School - West Unity, Ohio.

The following Midwest GLOBE US Partner hosted the event: David Bydlowski, Wayne RESA – AREN Project; Kevin Czajkowski and Janet Struble, University of Toledo – GLOBE Mission EARTH (GME); Michael Notaro and Rosalyn Pertzborn, University of Wisconsin-Madison – Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment Grant.

International SWOT Mission Can Improve Flood Prediction

A partnership between NASA and the French space agency, the satellite is poised to help improve forecasts of where and when flooding will occur in Earth’s rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Rivers, lakes, and reservoirs are like our planet’s arteries, carrying life-sustaining water in interconnected networks. When Earth’s water cycle runs too fast, flooding can result, […]

A tiled collection of logos for Zooniverse projects. Each logo consists of a square containing two concentric circles formed of thick lines plus a diagonal slash. The colors, textures, backgrounds (and sometimes foregrounds) of each logo are customized for each project. For example, a project about penguins features photographs of penguins in its logo.

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.
