There’s still time to register for the upcoming GLOBE El Niño Student Research Campaign webinar: “El Niño Student Campaign Refresher and Update,” which will take place on 21 September at 8:00 p.m. ET (12:00 a.m. 22 September UTC).

In this hour-long webinar, participants will get a refresher on this campaign, and will hear from several GLOBE teachers who have been involved with their classes from the start of the campaign. The discussion will focus on the need for ongoing data collection and the current state of the ENSO cycle. A NASA scientist will discuss the current state of the ENSO cycle and what it might mean for weather conditions for the remainder of this campaign.
