Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE)

GLOBE is a worldwide network of students, teachers, and scientists working together to study and understand the global environment. Students and teachers from over 7,000 schools in more than 80 countries make environmental observations at or near their schools and report their data through the Internet. We provide science support to GLOBE in the area of hydrology, use the data in research and provide feedback to the students. [R. Bales; M. Conklin]
