Imhoff In response to an Announcement of Opportunity for the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment Program (GLOBE) this project is designed to meet the GLOBE goals and objectives of linking scientists and schoolchildren in a global information network with the ultimate goal of better understanding the Earth's environment and changes that take place within it. The specific goals of this project are to introduce students in grades K-12 to the concept of soils as a basic building block of terrestrial ecosystems and the concept of ecosystem services that support human life. The teaching and learning environment will be integrated with actual baseline data gathering efforts being carried out for global change modeling projects supported by NASA as part of Mission to Planet Earth. The use of satellite and aircraft based remote sensing technology will be a significant part of the program. A primary task of the proposed effort will be the creation of a new set of education packages through integration of satellite remote sensing and geographic information system technology with already existing K-12 soil science education models. The new packages will take on the viewpoint of soils being part of an inter-dependent network of Earth system functions and an important provider of ecosystem services.

Imhoff 为响应《全球学习和观察有益于环境方案的机会公告》，该项目旨在实现全球学习和观察有益于环境方案的目标，即在全球信息网络中将科学家和学童联系起来，最终目标是更好地了解地球环境及其内部发生的变化。12.土壤是陆地生态系统的基本组成部分的概念和支持人类生活的生态系统服务的概念。教学环境将与为全球变化建模项目进行的实际基线数据收集工作相结合，该项目由美国航天局支持，是地球使命的一部分。卫星和飞机遥感技术的使用将是该计划的重要组成部分。拟议工作的一项主要任务是通过将卫星遥感和地理信息系统技术与现有的K-12土壤科学教育模式相结合，创建一套新的教育教材。新的成套材料将采用土壤是相互依存的地球系统功能网络的一部分和生态系统服务的重要提供者的观点。
