The GLOBE International Scientist Network
The GLOBE International Scientist Network (GISN) is an international network of scientists that work with GLOBE students around the world conducting science. Scientists mentor students and teachers, present scientific ideas, and/or collaborate on scientific research. Each relationship between a scientist and a GLOBE school is different, and is determined by the scientist and the school.
Why scientists participate in GLOBE
1. GLOBE has a scientific database extending over 16 years with data in most earth system science research areas that can be used to supplement standard research data.
2. GLOBE students can collect additional data related to your research expanding your observation network.
3. The international nature of GLOBE provides a unique opportunity to add or establish an international component to your research.
4. Scientists working with GLOBE have a strong desire to mentor and inspire young minds, interacting with the next generation.
5. GLOBE students want to be a part of real-world, cutting edge science that matters to them, their community and scientists. GLOBE scientists contribute to science education in a unique way that can have a lasting impression on student interest in science, as well as scientific literacy.
Ways scientists participate in GLOBE
1. Work with an existing partner. There are GLOBE partners in 110 countries and nearly all 50 U.S. states. Partners are associated with universities, non-profits, museums, and other environmental organizations. With this diversity, it is possible to develop partnerships that are
appropriate for an array of projects.
2. Include GLOBE in the outreach portion of scientific projects. GLOBE can suggest ways to integrate GLOBE data and students into your research.
3. Use GLOBE data in your research. All GLOBE data are publicly available. With data ranging from land cover classifications in Bahrain to cloud observations in the Marshall Islands, you may be able to find just what you're looking for. This data can be searched using powerful, web-based search tools and downloaded in a variety of formats (web-based, delineated text, or shape files).
4. Develop a working relationship with a local GLOBE school. Scientists often connect with a local primary or secondary GLOBE school in their area to assist the teacher and inspire students.
