-
Background information
-
GLOBE data collection protocols

Phenology resources
-
Tree and land cover resources

Elementary GLOBE resources
North America Phenology Campaign
The North America Phenology Campaign is focused on monitoring and reporting plant phenology data to help validate the end of the plant growing season. In this campaign, students will observe and report plant green-down, have opportunities to meet scientists, and collaborate with other students. Sign up to receive updates from the GLOBE U.S. Coordination Office!
GLOBE and Natural Inquirer Crosswalks
The GLOBE U.S. Coordination Office is working in partnership with the USDA Forest Service to show connections between Natural Inquirer readers for students and GLOBE protocols, learning activities, and storybooks. The following items demonstrate how these materials can be used together in a classroom activity. More products will be added soon. Find details on the crosswalk project.
