This #WorldRainforestDay, take a GLOBE Trees observation and contribute to science!
We observe trees to understand changes in biomass and effects on the carbon cycle. Your observations can also help scientists working on NASA missions like the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2).

Even from afar, wildfires are creating unhealthy air.

A NASA-supported study found wildfires have worsened ground-level ozone, or smog, across the U.S., with larger changes in the West and Midwest. Wildfires can increase surface ozone thousands of miles away from active fires.

A NASA sensor is helping firefighters stay safe — and gathering critical science data! 🔥👨‍🚒

NASA’s FireSense project installed the sensors on fire bulldozers to alert the firefighters driving them when their surroundings are getting too hot.

How does @NASAEarth observe and measure global precipitation, aerosols & atmospheric chemistry, clouds, fires, sea ice cover, ozone, wind, biosphere, and sea surface temperature from space? Explore visualizations from the NASA Scientific Visualization Studio at @NASAGoddard showing how current and past satellite missions work together, orbiting Earth, to make their observations.

#DYK The GLOBE Observer app has streak awards and milestone badges?

You earn your first “milestone badge” when you submit your first observation. Earn “streaks” by making observations for 2 or more days in a row. The longer you submit daily data, the larger your streak will become. Learn more at https://t.co/FRa9pHnCUp.

Are you a long-time GLOBE observer? Share your longest observation streak or proudest milestone badge in the comments below!

New #GLOBEResearch!
📃Title: Pixels and Pupils: A Comparative Analysis of Remote Sensing and Citizen Science Land Cover Data in Los Osos, CA
👥Authors: Shelby Taylor, Peder V. Nelson, and Rusty Low

This study evaluated the accuracy of localized remote sensing data. Using citizen science data collected through the GLOBE Observer App and Collect Earth Online, the study compared the datasets with open-source remote sensing data sets obtained through the Earth Map platform. The findings showed that remote sensing was often associated with the incorrect consolidation of land cover elements or confusion between similar features.

#QuickGLOBETip for making GLOBE surface temperature observations!

How can you help prevent inaccurate readings? If the air temperature varies more than 5 degrees Celsius from where you store your infrared thermometer, leave it outside for 1 hour.

Get started with your surface temperature observations and learn more at https://t.co/TVjPp5GoMj.

Educators from the GLOBE Mission Earth project participated in a community of practice (CoP) led by NASA Langley Research Center to refine how students interact with NASA's land cover data from MODIS, Landsat, and Sentinel-2. The CoP focused on data collection, curriculum integration, student research, and validation to refine how students interact with NASA's land cover data.

#QuickGLOBETip for making GLOBE Trees observations!

How should you measure the tree you are observing? Tip #3: When searching for a tree, find a spot 7–15 meters (25–50 feet) away from the tree that allows you to clearly see the top and bottom.
