Background on changing albedo values.

Background information on sea and land ice melt.

Find GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement exploration of solar eclipses.

GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement the Ocean Circulation Patterns phenomenon through hands-on investigations are detailed. These protocols can be used to build a basis for understanding the principles of salinity and water temperature which are drivers of the ocean circulation patterns.

This activity is one of a series in the collection, The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change activities. 

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

This mini-lesson guides students' observations of soil moisture anomalies (how much the moisture content was above or below the norm) for the continental US in May 2018.

The GLOBE Program provides students with the ability to explore Earth as a System with data sets and protocols related to the Atmosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere, and Geosphere. 

Background information on snow and ice extent.

Students categorize causes, effects, and responses to volcanic hazards through an Earth system perspective. They use remotely sensed images to examine the visible effects of the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 and identify a buffer zone for safer locations for development.
