Assemble Data

With your investigation plan in place, you can start gathering the relevant data you want to analyze. If you're using data from other GLOBE members or external databases, make sure to keep track of your sources and search queries to easily recall them later.

If you're taking measurements out in the field, remember to keep all your records organized. This will make reading your data during the analysis stage much more efficient. A great way of cataloging your observations is to keep a notebook of GLOBE data sheets so that everything is in one place. Alternatively, if you're collecting data using GLOBE protocols, you can report your measurements to the GLOBE archive with the GLOBE data entry system or GLOBE apps. This will guarantee that your measurements are saved online. Additionally, this method will enable you to view your uploaded data with our GLOBE visualization tools.
