Climate Chronicles

SEES Earth System Explorer, 2024

This project is all about mixing the personal stories of citizen scientists with 30 years of the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) program. It combines these two sources, as well as other data sources, to get a complete picture of how our environment change              ​​​​​​​

This is the first year for the Climate Chronicle activity. Explore th​​​​​​​e collection of Climate Chronicles from the 2024 virtual SEES Earth System Explorers (ESE) 2024 interns.

 

The GLOBE program has been gathering climate data for over three decades. This considerable dataset includes temperature, rainfall, soil moisture, and more information. By analyzing this data, scientists can spot long-term trends and patterns in our climate.

 

NASA has a 50-year history of Landsat images. The Community Climate Chronicles activity uses this information to contextualize citizen scientists' observations. This mix of data sources lets you create a more detailed and nuanced understanding of climate change in your community.
