Do GLOBE
The GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) Program is an international science and education initiative that engages students, teachers, and the public in collecting and analyzing environmental data. Participants contribute to scientific research by gathering observations in areas such as atmosphere, hydrology, soils, and land cover, fostering a greater understanding of the Earth's system and promoting environmental awareness.
GLOBE is founded on the principles of science education and collaboration. From engaging lesson plans to measurement campaigns, more than 40,000 schools worldwide have used GLOBE's resources to investigate the environment. Through the efforts of both students and citizens, more than 250 million points of data have been contributed to the scientific community, providing researchers a crucial look inside Earth's systems.
As climates around the world continue to change, acquiring accurate data like this is as important as ever, so there has never been a better time to "Do GLOBE."
How To Get Started
The GLOBE Program is open to anyone residing in a GLOBE Country. See if your country is involved! Get started by creating an account on the website or the GLOBE Observer App and selecting whether you are a teacher/formal educator, informal educator/volunteer coordinator, scientist, or a citizen scientist.
If your country is not involved with GLOBE (see list of participating countries) and you wish to participate in GLOBE, contact the GLOBE Implementation Office at help@nasaglobe.org.

GLOBE Resources and Opportunities for Educators, Students, Citizen Scientists, and Scientists
The GLOBE Program's app, GLOBE Observer, is the best way to start collecting GLOBE data as a citizen scientist. Through the app, you can take environmental observations that complement NASA satellite observations and help scientists study Earth and the global environment.
Explore how GLOBE data is used both in GLOBE student research reports as well as professional scientific papers.
In an effort to support GLOBE's mission of science education, GLOBE provides a wealth of resources to help teachers and students engage with the world around them. GLOBE resources include teaching aides, instructional videos, translated material, and more.
GLOBE's measurement campaigns provide students with an inquiry-based approach to science that complements their in-class lessons. These campaigns are grounded in real science and take place on local, regional, and worldwide scales.
Join the GLOBE International STEM Network (GISN) to lead and/or collaborate on scientific investigations, mentor international educators and students, and/or contribute to GLOBE's programmatic goals as members of task committees and working groups.
