The GLOBE Program
AREN is partnered with the GLOBE Program to expand GLOBE sample sites and increase the amount of atmospheric data available online to citizens and scientists. GLOBE protocols are incorporated in the AREN program to learn the proper techniques and steps to collect information about biotic and abiotic factors of an ecosystem. Data that is collected is submitted to GLOBE’s Online Database and available to the public.
CBEC incorporates numerous protocols from GLOBE’s Teacher Guide:
