El 25 de septiembre de 2015, los líderes mundiales adoptaron un conjunto de objetivos globales para erradicar la pobreza, proteger el planeta y asegurar la prosperidad para todos como parte de una nueva agenda de desarrollo sostenible. Cada objetivo tiene metas específicas que deben haberse alcanzado para el año 2030. Para alcanzar estas metas, todo el mundo tiene que hacer su parte: los gobiernos, el sector privado, la sociedad civil y personas como nosotros (ONU). Es por esta razón que el encuentro de hoy tuvo como propósito principal establecer con cuales de los 17 ...

Often it seems there’s software that sounds like it will be some amazing new tool or bring some amazing new capabilities.  However, once you try it out, it’s easy to be less impressed. The tools either don’t deliver on what they promise, or just aren’t as cool as you might have thought. Every once in a while however there’s something that comes out that really does kind of blow me away. Google’s experimental tool “NotebookLM” is one of those tools.  Check it out at https://notebooklm.google You can upload one or more documents and then it will interpret all you ...

Desde ayer 05-09-2024, se han registrado enormes incendios  desde Brasil hasta la Argentina, observables por satélite,  de no tomarse los correctivos  con el pulmón de la Amazonas corre el riesgo de desaparecer, poniendo en peligro la poca naturaleza que le queda al planeta. Estudios citados por el medio MetSul de metereología de Brasil,  indican que el humo puede influir en la formación de descargas eléctricas y hay que tomar en cuenta, para estudios avanzados que los eventos se presentan en zonas de la Anomalía del Atlántico Sur,  que sin duda juega un papel en el tiempo ...

Welcome back! Often times we still get nervous for the first day of classes. No matter if it’s as a child walking down the intimidating halls of school or as an adult wondering if the teacher will be good and the books not so expensive, those first moments or even days of school often can be daunting. As instructors, it’s our job to engage our students and make a good first impression so we can restart the curious minds in our class. For my case, the goal is to guide my student’s learning experience using GLOBE resources to better understand the branch of science known as physics. ...

For many years, GLOBE has received Davis weather station data via email.  Users signed up with Davis, and once a day, the weather station data is sent to GLOBE.  While this system has worked for many years, all new Davis stations have been encouraged to use the "New way" to send their data to GLOBE which provides near real-time reporting and removes the need for email support.  This "new way" is preferred by both GLOBE and Davis. Due to recent changes in GLOBE, the "old way" of sending Davis data to GLOBE may be ending in the near future, so we'd like to move all Davis ...

In the perspective of reactivating the international science program of Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) in Chad, the US embassy hosted a work meeting within its walls and received the new team of Globe-Chad on August 8th, 2024. This contact was intitiated by GLOBE-Chad’s team who has been in the process of reactivating the educational program in the country. Through this, many other steps have been taken towards this goal, including successful schools identification that will serve as GLOBE pilot schools, a correspondance to the Chadian authorities ...

ANOTHER STORY FROM THE IVSS 2024 IN FREDONIA I am a member of the DEIA WG and I was supposed to be at the conference too. But a long trip and traveling for 27 hours without sleep took its toll. Instead of the conference, I finished at the hospital with a broken leg. But my situation was not so bad, I had a lot of people thinking of me and making my stay at the hospital almost comfortable. I must declare that the UCAR and GLOBE people took my DEI situation the best they could and helped me, thinking about me and organizing my trip home. First of all, I must thank John Ristvey ...

For those GLOBE educators wanting to sharpen their skills and become GLOBE trainers while sailing on a tall ship to collect water samples, then the North American Regional meeting (NARM) is for you! Participants from all parts of the country converged in San Pedro, CA to gain additional experience in GLOBE protocols, train to become trainers, and learn how to incorporate GLOBE in the classroom and outreach programs. The key highlights were the "train the trainer" workshops on atmosphere and hydrosphere protocols, visit to the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, sailing on a Los Angeles Maritime ...

Eclipse 2024 – Part 1   Not even the clouds could pass up this momentous day, for this was were the bright and mighty sun was to be eclipsed by our closest celestial neighbor – our Moon. This event brought hundreds of excited and curious people to the El Paso Community College Solar Eclipse Extravaganza event so that they could safely witness this breathtaking moment, albeit only momentarily and partially. Not only did people witness this first hand, it was also the chance for them to participate with the NASA GLOBE program in collecting valuable cloud and temperature data. ...

Background I received my formal training on GLOBE Atmosphere protocols, particularly cloud observation, in the summer of 2011. In 2016, the GLOBE Program launched the GLOBE Observer (GO) app, designed for volunteer science. The GO app is more user-friendly and focuses on specific observations anyone with a smartphone can make. The GLOBE Program is structured and education-focused, targeting students and educators, while the GO app is intuitive and accessible to the general public. Both contribute valuable data to the scientific community and enhance public understanding of ...
