#ICYMI On the 22nd of September 2026, we held the GLOBE Observer Connect event, in conjunction with the Trees Around the GLOBE’s September 2026 campaign webinar. The event, entitled “Tracking Fall Color with PACE,” was a conversation with NASA Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission vegetation scientist, Skye Caplan. Skye discussed some of the ways she is using PACE data to study plants on land, including the new leaf color product and how you can use GLOBE Land Cover to document changing leaf colors to help verify the unique new PACE leaf color product.

📃Title: The 2025 Aviation Weather Mission: Cadet Engagement and Evaluation Results
👥Authors: Marilé Colón Robles, Ashlee M. Autore, Matthew Nyman, Heather Fischer, Shannon Babb, Roman Vitanza, Jessica E Taylor, Kristen Weaver, Holli Kohl, Tina Rogerson, Theresa Schwerin
The 2025 Aviation Weather Mission was a collaboration between NASA and the Civil Air Patrol. Using the GLOBE Observer app, over 3,000 volunteers across 42 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC, monitored the skies making aviation-related weather observations, tracking airplanes, and collecting ground-based airplane and contrail type information.

“Participation in Trees Around the GLOBE has significantly enriched our work with students and encouraged us to move learning beyond the classroom. Through these activities, students develop not only scientific knowledge but also important competencies such as critical thinking, problem-solving, mathematical and data literacy, digital skills, teamwork, communication and independent research.” GLOBE Trainer and Educator - Dubovac Primary School, Karlovac, Croatia
Please join us in one week for the final Trees Around the GLOBE Campaign webinar, "The State of Eight Years and a Fond Farewell: Looking Back at the last 2,964 days of collecting, researching, analyzing and presenting tree height, land cover, green-up and green-down observations through campaign research and application webinars, online tutorials, intensive observation periods, data challenges, and digital resources.” Learn more at bit.ly/Trees98FinalWebinar. Please join us for our final campaign webinar!

We have 4,751 PACE Clouds Challenge matches and counting with 2 weeks left to go!
Please keep them coming! These observations, taken within a 5-minute window of the PACE satellite passing overhead, will help PACE scientist Dr. Andy Sayer compare what we see from the ground with what PACE sees from space—and better understand how well the satellite detects cloud edges and total cloud cover.

The Trees Around the GLOBE Research Campaign ran an intensive observation period (IOP) during “Tree Check Month” this August.
Participants took Tree Height and Land Cover observations, noting any signs of pests or damage on trees being observed. Participants submitted 617 Tree observations from 273 global sites and 432 Land Cover observations from 227 global sites!

"What an amazing project and process you have managed and mentored with this campaign. This has been transformative in my own professional development and awareness as well as data shared with students. Trees have become not just something I admire but cornerstones of my teaching. I talk about the importance of trees all the time in classes and conversations.” – U.S. STEM Educator

It's Earth Science Week!🌎
Celebrate by getting outside & admiring fall foliage with the @GLOBEProgram's North American Phenology Campaign.🍂
Your observations can help PACE scientists better map leaf color from space!

What is the best way to time your observations for the PACE Clouds Challenge?
Set alerts for PACE satellite overpasses in the GLOBE Observer app, and you’ll be notified 15 minutes before the flyover.
About 5 minutes before the PACE flyover (set yourself an alarm if that’s helpful!), go outside and start your Clouds observation.
Take all 6 photos even if you have something blocking your view of the sky and remember to send in your observations!
