THE POWER OF MENTORING

Oliva Bibler, Roman Azzarello and Neva Hargreaves, three students from Aerospace and Natural Science Academy of Toledo (Ohio), presented their research via zoom at the Hydrology High School Capstone Culminating Event arranged by George Voltz from the NASA Glenn Research Center Education Office.

The research done by these students illustrates the power of mentoring. Dr. Jodi Haney (GLOBE partner Bowling Green State University), Christine Staschiak (Environmental Engineer from NASA Plum Brook), Tina Harte (NASA Langley), GLOBE Mission Earth Team at the University of Toledo provided guidance throughout the research and sampling process for Ms. Bibler. Ms. Bibler (senior) served as a mentor to Roman Azzarello and Neva Hargeaves (freshman). Their teacher, Laura Kubiak, is a GLOBE Mission EARTH teacher and participated in Arctic SIGNS (Dr. Elena Sparrow) training last year. Ms. Bibler trained a group of freshmen including Mr. Azzarello and Ms. Hargeaves in GLOBE’s hydrology protocols to contribute to the data being collected on her project. The students wanted to determine where nutrients are getting into ditches that feed into the Maumee River ultimately contributing to algae blooms in Lake Erie. Olivia Bibler participated in summer internship (2019) in the STEM Enhancement in Earth Science (SEES) Program.

Students' Research Posters are included.

NASA’s CloudSat Ends Mission Peering Into the Heart of Clouds

Over the course of nearly two decades, its powerful radar provided never-before-seen details of clouds and helped advance global weather and climate predictions. CloudSat, a NASA mission that peered into hurricanes, tallied global snowfall rates, and achieved other weather and climate firsts, has ended its operations. Originally proposed as a 22-month mission, the spacecraft was […]

NASA’s Near Space Network Enables PACE Climate Mission to ‘Phone Home’

The PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission has delivered its first operational data back to researchers, a feat made possible in part by innovative, data-storing technology from NASA’s Near Space Network, which introduced two key enhancements for PACE and other upcoming science missions. As a satellite orbits in space, its systems generate critical data […]

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.
