This meeting will be hosted virtually. It was originally supposed to be hosted in Boulder, Colorado, USA, therefore you may see some emphasis to Boulder throughout the meeting.
GLOBE Annual Meetings bring together GLOBE Country Coordinators and U.S. Partnership Coordinators, Science and Education Principal Investigators, as well as Partnering Organizations from around the world to address key science and education elements of GLOBE.
These events offer a unique opportunity for participants to learn about the latest scientific research and other developments in the Program, interact with GLOBE community members and scientists who are using GLOBE data in their research, and open dialogues with top educators on effective methods to enhance the GLOBE educational process in the classroom. Beginning with the opening reception, members of the GLOBE Community have the opportunity to display a poster and/or other exhibit materials highlighting their local GLOBE activities. In addition, science, education, and implementation panels and discussions focus on issues important to leaders in the GLOBE community. Participants also have the opportunity to practice their protocol skills and learn about new GLOBE science investigations during the field day activities and workshop sessions.
All meeting proceedings are posted in order to share information, ideas and implementation strategies
Keynote Speaker
Meet our first keynote speaker for the GLOBE Annual Meeting! Dr. Karen Bailey is an Assistant Professor in the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder (Boulder, Colorado, USA). She is interested in human-environment interactions, climate change, and sustainable rural livelihoods. She also has an emphasis on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in environmental fields and STEM; and is committed to research that supports, amplifies, and engages the most vulnerable among us. Her current projects focus on climate adaptation in southern Africa, human health and well-being in east Africa, barriers to entry and retention in natural resource fields, and just and equitable climate change research.
Science Protocol Training
