GLOBE frequently host a variety of different initiatives to foster cooperation between the GLOBE community and professional scientists. Field measurement campaigns and Intensive Observation Periods (IOPs) are two of these initiatives. All GLOBE campaigns and IOPs take an inquiry-based approach to research that emphasizes hands-on learning and authentic science experiences.
Whether you're ready to jump in as a citizen scientist or want to integrate an initiative's protocols into a class project, GLOBE Field Campaigns & IOPs are a great way to discover Earth's biggest mysteries.
