NASA Resources

The GLOBE Program Website: There is a tab at the top of the page named ‘Do GLOBE.’ This tab leads to a page that provides links to all the spheres and protocols developed by the GLOBE community. You will also find links to the ‘Earth as a System’ bundles which might be helpful in understanding how data is collected and the scientific background.

Steps in the Scientific Process: This page of the website provides an overview of the scientific process as well as steps on how to assemble, analyze, and interpret data. Resources on this page may be useful in the development of your game.

GLOBE Visualization System: The visualization system allows you to view, graph, and export data collected using any of the protocols around the world. You can filter data based on your local country or school, your preferred protocol such as precipitation or water temperature, and a date range. This site will provide you with content to develop a case study or information to provide real-life examples in your game.

GLOBE Advanced Data Access Tool: This tool allows you to find and retrieve data using several different search parameters.

Space Agency Partner Resources

Brazilian Space Agency (AEB)

Complementary Datasets GLOBE Program: This page contains resources for how to access, cite, and use GLOBE data, including curated data sets focused on the four tools in the GLOBE Observer app.

Complementary Datasets National Institute for Space Research (INPE): This page provides information and data about INPE Burns Program.

European Space Agency (ESA)

EO4SD: EO4SD is an ESA initiative to support the uptake of EO-derived information in sustainable development.

Canadian Space Agency (CSA)

Earth Observation Data Management System (EODMS): The Earth Observation Data Management System (EODMS) houses all Government of Canada's Earth Observation open data, including data from the RADARSAT missions.

SCISAT: Canada’s SCISAT studies the complex chemical processes that affect the distribution of ozone in the upper atmosphere, especially over the Arctic. The ozone layer has a big impact on life on Earth.

MOPITT: The Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) sensor is a Canadian instrument aboard the Terra satellite. As the name suggests, it measures pollution, specifically carbon monoxide, in the troposphere.

GEO.ca: GEO.ca is the definitive source for Canada’s open geospatial information. Some of this data might be helpful for monitoring environmental issues in Canada.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Open Data Portal: Environment and Climate Change Canada has various datasets on water quality (including the release of harmful substances in bodies of water), as well as air quality and biodiversity. Some of these data might be helpful for monitoring environmental issues in Canada.

Protecting Canada’s Oceans: On this page, Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans outlines the importance of oceans as well as what the Government of Canada is doing to protect them.
