A newspaper in Japan, The Yamanashi Nichinichi Shibun, published a story about the GLOBE activities of students in the Yamanashi Prefecture, a region near Mt. Fuji. The students, featured in the article, are members of the Koufu Junior Eco Club, the Eco Club Oshino, and the Sudama Junior Eco Club. Students began their GLOBE activities by measuring air temperature and water pH in a nearby river. They will be using GLOBEMail to compare their data with Japanese GLOBE students in Istabashi City (pictured here), Fukuoka City, and all over the world.
