Aus teachers invited to explore GLOBE
The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program is a NASA-sponsored international science and education program that provides students and the public worldwide with the opportunity to participate in data collection and the scientific process, and to contribute meaningfully to our understanding of the Earth and global environment.
