Advanced GLOBE Workshops

The Advanced Workshop is an opportunity to network with other teachers who are implementing GLOBE, review protocols and skills, learn new protocols and find ways to better integrate GLOBE into your curriculum. Each Advanced Workshop focuses on one or two parts of the GLOBE Program. The 2002 Advanced workshops focused on the GLOBE Special Phenology measurements and the new GLOBE Atmosphere Protocols (Surface Ozone, Wind Direction, Relative Humidity, Aerosol and Barometric Pressure). Information about 2003 Advanced workshops will be available in the fall. Current plans include an Advanced Workshop related to student research, inquiry and use of the GLOBE database.
