Discover how GLOBE supports hands-on science for locally relevant learning which is also put into a global perspective.

This investigation introduces students to the significant environmental changes occurring around the world. The investigation uses NASA satellite images of Brazil to illustrate deforestation as one type of environmental change.

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.

Find GLOBE resources which are connected to My NASA Data pedosphere (geosphere) phenomena. These include campaigns, eTraining and how to find related student projects.

The My NASA Data visualization tool, Earth System Data Explorer (ESDE), helps learners visualize complex Earth System data sets over space and time. Visit this page to review the datasets we have available to you and their organization by Earth System sphere, science variable, dataset name, and start/end dates. 

GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement the Volcanic Eruptions phenomenon through hands-on investigations are detailed. 

Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.
