The GLOBE Student Climate Research Campaign (SCRC) aims to engage students in measuring, investigating, and understanding the climate system in their local communities and around the world. Drawing on GLOBE protocols and data, as well as other datasets, students take climate-related measurements and investigate research questions about climate.

See what Dr Waleed Abdalati – NASA's Chief Scientist – has to say about the campaign:
There are three linked components to the SCRC, and teachers can use any one or all of these to enhance teaching and understanding of climate issues.
 |
1. Climate Foundations These introductory activities allow students to study real data and understand key concepts of weather and climate |
 |
2. Intensive Observing Periods Students from around the world are encouraged to take themed measurements over a short period of time, and analyze their data. |
 |
3. Research Investigations
Ultimately, students can carry out their own research projects, either alone, or with other schools in your country or around the world.

By participating in this campaign, students will contribute to climate science studies, will connect with other schools and classrooms around the globe, and be inspired to explore and conduct science investigations of their own as part of their increased awareness of climate-related environmental issues and Earth as a system.
