How will student data be used by researchers?
This project will contribute critically needed science measurements to validate satellite data. These measurements are important for regional climate change research, prevention and management of diseases, and to better understand the water and carbon cycles. • Which GLOBE protocols will be used in this project? This project utilizes many of the GLOBE protocols, specifically: • Phenology (budburst, green-up and green-down) • Atmosphere (air and soil temperature, precipitation, snow) • Soil Characterization (surface and deeper if possible) • Land Cover (MUC classification) In addition, ice and mosquito phenology protocols will be developed for Arctic and Tropical regions, respectively. • How can our school get involved in Seasons and Biomes? First complete the Biomes and Seasons questionnaire. You can download the questionnaire on the GLOBE website. The information from this questionnaire will help the Seasons and Biome Team plan upcoming field campaigns for your biome. Additionally, th
