PASCO is proud to support the GLOBE program by providing equipment that meets program specifications.
About the GLOBE Program
The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program is an 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
contribute meaningfully to our understanding of the Earth system and global environment. Announced by the U.S. Government on Earth Day
in 1994, GLOBE launched its worldwide implementation in 1995.
GLOBE provides grade level-appropriate, interdisciplinary activities and investigations about the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and soil/pedosphere, which have been developed by the scientific community and validated by teachers. GLOBE connects students, teachers, scientists, and citizens from different parts of the world to conduct real, hands-on science about their local environment and to put this in a global perspective.
GLOBE is sponsored by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Department of State. Internationally, GLOBE is implemented through government-to-government agreements with each country partner responsible for in-country activities. As the lead agency for GLOBE in the U.S., NASA has the primary responsibility for administering the government-to-government agreements, and for the management of the GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO) and the data and information system that support the worldwide implementation.
