GLOBE Observer Featured by Science News Organizations

GLOBE Observer Featured by Science News Organizations


Two prominent science news organizations recently featured GLOBE Observer citizen science activities. On October 29th, 2021, the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) EOS news highlighted the GLOBE Mosquito Habitat Mapper in an article titled “App Tracks Harmful Mosquitos with Help from Crowdsourced Science.” The article is a summary of a peer-reviewed publication published in GeoHealth in August 2021 (GeoHealth, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021GH000436, 2021).

Then, on November 18th, 2021, Discover Magazine published an article called “Four Ways (in One App) to Help NASA Study the Changing Planet.” This article is a high-level summary of how citizen scientists can support NASA science by using the GLOBE Observer app to collect observations of clouds, land cover, mosquito habitats, and trees. The article originally appeared on the SciStarter website and was republished by Discover (https://www.discovermagazine.com/environment/four-ways-in-one-app-to-help-nasa-study-the-changing-planet). (Award No. NNX16AE28A)

NASA’s PACE, US-European SWOT Satellites Offer Combined Look at Ocean

One Earth satellite can see plankton that photosynthesize. The other measures water surface height. Together, their data reveals how sea life and the ocean are intertwined. The ocean is an engine that drives Earth’s weather patterns and climate and sustains a substantial portion of life on the planet. A new animation based on data from […]

NASA’s C-20A Studies Extreme Weather Events

On a changing planet, where phenomena like severe hurricanes, landslides, and wildfires are becoming more severe, scientists need data to assess and model disaster impacts and to potentially make predictions about hazards. NASA’s C-20A aircraft is a significant asset that can carry key instruments for understanding the science behind these phenomena.  Based at NASA’s Armstrong […]

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.
