Fredonia to host GLOBE students
Fredonia will be hosting students of the Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program on Saturday, May 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is slated for Adam’s Mark hotel in Buffalo.
Students of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic will showcase what they’ve learned from their research investigations of the atmosphere, pedosphere and hydrosphere. NASA scientists will be present to comment on their research investigations, as well as offer insight on the importance of a student’s understanding of how Earth’s systems are affected by Earth’s changing conditions.
“This is a great opportunity for students to practice the skills they’ve learned through their involvement in the GLOBE Program and apply them to address real world problems,” stated Dr. Michael Jabot, a United States partner of the GLOBE Program, and a professor in Science Education at Fredonia.
The GLOBE Program began its operations in 1995. Today, over 110 countries participate in the GLOBE Program. Students of the program learn the practices of science through hands-on investigations in their own communities.
The event is free, and all students, faculty, staff and community members are invited to attend.
