Title: 30 Years of GLOBE Data Campaign Introduction
Date: 23 October 2024 @ 1PM ET (17:00 UTC)
Description: Meet the GIO Science Lead, Dr. Charles Vörösmarty, who will introduce the 2024-2025 data campaign, 30 Years of GLOBE. He will discuss about how changes in the Earth system over time can be detected by looking at data time series. Dr. Vörösmarty will provide examples from his work with water and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
Registration: Coming soon.
Title: GLOBE Mission Mosquito
Date: TBA October 2024
Description: GLOBE Mission Mosquito is an ongoing global campaign that aligns with the 30 Years of GLOBE Campaign. This webinar will include presentations given by high school students who have collected GLOBE land cover data.
Title: Data Time Machine: How to Look at Local Data over Time
Date: TBA November 2024
Description: Technology has changed significantly in 30 years, but the fundamental questions we ask of Earth system data are still current. Join Peder Nelson, GLOBE Observer Land Cover science lead in a discussion of why we want to explore that past 30 years of GLOBE data and connect it to our present observations. Using examples, Peder will present strategies to address challenges you might encounter in creating a data time series from your local data, and he will discuss how uncertainty is an issue that always needs to be addressed in the analysis of any data set.
Title: A Tale of Two Scientists: Changes in Data and Technology over Time
Date: TBA December 2025
Description: In support of the 30 Years of GLOBE Data campaign, listen in on a discussion between Dr. Russ Congalton, the original GLOBE Land Cover protocol scientist, with scientist Peder Nelson, who currently supports the GLOBE Observer Land Cover tool. How has changes in technology impacted GLOBE data, and what is the scientific legacy of GLOBE data?
Title: GLOBE Chronicles of Change
Date: TBA January 2025
Description: The GLOBE Chronicles of Change is a template you can use to describe your “pixel”- your GLOBE Study Site. Join Dr. Rusty Low, Deputy Director of Science, GIO, in this hands-on activity that introduces students to different sources of data that can enrich GLOBE data collected locally. You will use satellite imagery, demographic data, and other data sources to create hypotheses about Earth system change in your community, and will identify GLOBE protocols that can be applied to test your hypotheses. You will leave the webinar with a template you can use to reproduce this activity with your students.
Title: Make Your Data Talk: Transforming Data into Visual Stories
Date: TBA February 2025
Description: Peder Nelson will share how to create an animated GIF of a GLOBE study site using Landsat time series images, and use this animation as a way to understand and describe local change. Bring your GLOBE study site and/or your school location (latitude, longitude) to this interactive session.
Title: Bridging Worlds: Bringing Indigenous Knowledge to GLOBE Science
Date: TBA June 2025
Description: Anne Lewis, from the South Dakota Discovery Center, will share Braiding Indigenous ways of knowing with Western STEM. Using the lessons of Stacy Laravie, a Ponca educator, we'll start with understanding the interconnectedness of everything or traditional ecological kinship and delve into integrating the Oceti Sakowin Essential Understandings with STEM for all grade levels.
Title: 30 Years of GLOBE Campaign Celebration
Date: TBA September 2025
Description: Celebrate and share the products and metrics of the 30 Years of GLOBE Campaign!
