Webinars have become an important part of the campaign. Below you
will find a list of webinars that are prepared for you for the
Autumn Campaign, as well as invitations to webinars
organised by the Trees Around GLOBE Campaign team.
Recordings of webinars from previous campaigns are available below in
the Archived Webinars section and are listed by date.
PAST: Exploring the 2024
Autumn Tree Campaign
You can watch the recording to learn about the 2024 Autumn Tree
Campaign plans, green-down activities, and other tree-related teaching
resources. During the session, experienced GLOBE teachers also shared
their insights on doing campaign activities with students of different
age groups.
The webinar, held on September 23, 2024, was conducted in English.
Join us for the virtual event "The Best of GLOBE Europe &
Eurasia," showcasing student research and community impact.
Taking place on February 4-5, 2025, this event provides your students
the opportunity to share their Green-down projects and other GLOBE
activities, inspiring others with their impactful work.
Trees Around the GLOBE Campaign &
GLOBE Observer Connect Webinars
Tuesday, November 12, 2024 @ 18:00 UTC, 19:00 CET. “The State
of Trees – November 2024. The NISAR Mission’s Role in Wetland
Mapping: Advancing Environmental Monitoring with Dr. Erika Podest.”
Join us for this amazing webinar where we will have Dr. Erika Podest
from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory discuss the NASA NISAR Mission
and wetlands, a vital land cover, monitoring. Wetlands cover less than
5% of the Earth’s ice-free land surface, yet they contribute
approximately one-fourth of the total methane emitted into the
atmosphere annually and serve as significant reservoirs of carbon,
thereby influencing global climate dynamics. Climate change is
expected to have a profound impact on wetlands ecosystems, affecting
sea levels and altering hydrologic regimes, with some changes already
being observed. This featured presentation will explore how the NISAR
satellite—a collaboration between NASA and the Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO), scheduled for launch in early 2025—will enhance
our ability to detect and monitor wetland ecosystems and their
critical roles in the carbon cycle.
Please send an email to Campaign Lead, Brian
Campbell, if you have interest in joining the webinar.
