Eclipse across America: Citizen Science Observations of the 21 August 2017 Total Solar Eclipse

“…More recently, citizen scientists without well-equipped preexisting weather stations have provided valuable data for the National Eclipse Weather Experiment, in which citizen scientists in the United Kingdom gathered meteorological observations of the 20 March 2015 partial solar eclipse (Barnard et al 2016;Hanna et al 2016;Hanna 2018). Inspired by these past efforts, the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program (Finarelli 1998;Muller et al 2015), used the recently released GLOBE Observer mobile application (hereinafter referred to as the GO app) to collect observations from the general public during the 2017 eclipse. A citizen science campaign for the 2017 eclipse was organized and was promoted to the public as ''How Cool is the Eclipse?…”

The Creation of Learning Scales for Environmental Education Based on Existing Conceptions of Learning

“…A preliminary survey was conducted on two groups: all Kyoto Prefectural High School students participating in the environmental learning program GLOBE-Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment [39] (2nd grade (16-17 years old): 42 students; 3rd grade (17-18 years old): 40 students; total: 82 students; 14 May 2015), and university students attending lectures in "Environmental Education and Teaching Materials Development" at universities in Tokyo (2nd year: 25 students; 3rd year: 12 students; 4th year: 2 students; total: 39 students; 21 April 2015). Before participants answered the survey questions, it was explained that their answers would not affect their school marks, that they could leave questions blank if they did not want to answer them, and that individuals would not be identifiable by their responses.…”

Adopt a Pixel 3 km: A Multiscale Data Set Linking Remotely Sensed Land Cover Imagery With Field Based Citizen Science Observation

“…Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) is an international science and education program established in 1995, connecting students, teachers, and scientists in monitoring changes in the Earth system (Rock et al, 1997;Finarelli, 1998;Means, 1998;Berglund, 1999;Butler and MacGregor, 2003;Muller et al, 2015;Nugent, 2018). GLOBE participants from 126 countries, using more than 50 scientific protocols, have collected more than 200 million data environmental observations for use by scientists and students in research.…”
