The GLOBE Observer App - GLOBE Mosquito Project
The GLOBE Observer App
The GLOBE Zika Education and Prevention project utilizes the GLOBE Program app, GLOBE Observer, to collect mosquito larvae observations in participating GLOBE countries. The app allows citizen scientists to train in the GLOBE Mosquito Protocol, identify disease-carrying mosquitoes, eliminate their breeding sites, and prevent future Zika outbreaks.
The Mosquito Habitat Mapper
Prior to the GLOBE Observer app, only certified teachers and
schools within GLOBE countries were able to use GLOBE protocols.
Now, with GLOBE Observer, any citizen scientist in a GLOBE country
is able to participate in GLOBE. Within the app, there are four
protocols, including the GLOBE Mosquito Habitat Mapper. This project
will create hundreds of thousands of new mosquito larvae
observations within the Mosquito Habitat Mapper!
By using GLOBE Observer, you are joining the GLOBE community and contributing important scientific data to NASA and the GLOBE Program, your local community, and students and scientists worldwide.
