If you collected surface temperature data as part of the Surface Temperature Urban Heat Island Field Campaign, be sure to enter it into the GLOBE database by January 3 in order to receive your stipend.
Thanks to Andrew Dempewolf, Lindsey Schilling, and Lisa Bahe for participating!
Start planning now to participate in our upcoming stipend opportunities.
Feb 2017 Site Setup Stipend. Create a new site between January 1, 2017 and Feb 28, 2017. If you are new to data entry, let this be the added nudge to determine which protocols you do and set up your site.
If you have collected data already, find a new protocol to do! Green up/green down, soil temperature, and my personal favorite cloud cover are good options for spring.
April 2017 Earth Day Stipend. Celebrate Earth Day by taking your students outside to collect data. Set up the site in February and use the GLOBE Data App to record data when you are in the field in April. $25/data set, up to $100. Data must be collected March 1 - April 30 and reported by May 5.

New Hampshire teacher Haley Wicklein set up six Atmosphere monitoring sites. Read about it in US Country Coordinator Jen Bourgeault’s blog.
The discussions have begun in earnest for the spring Northwest Student Research Symposium. It’s like a science fair (with GLOBE data) but more about the process than the winning. Dates should be announced by mid-January. Start having your students develop their projects today!
