Students identify patterns and describe the relationship between chlorophyll concentration and incoming shortwave radiation. 

Explore and connect to the GLOBE Rivers and Lakes protocol bundle. 

Check out this interview to learn more about Dr. Claire Parkinson's journey to become Senior Scientist researching Climate Change at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

The purpose of this activity is to have students use an Earth Systems perspective to identify the various causes associated with changes to Earth's forests as they review Landsat imagery of site locations from around the world.

GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement exploration of Earth's Energy Budget are outlined.

This USGS activity leads students to an understanding of what remote sensing means and how researchers use it to study changes to the Earth’s surface, such as deforestation.
