GLOBE 23rd Annual Meeting: Intersections of Diverse Environments

全球学习和观察有益于环境（GLOBE）计划是一个全球性的科学和教育社区，目前由超过125个美国合作伙伴和121个合作伙伴国家组成。它是一个由学生、教师、科学家和公民组成的社区，共同努力，在地方、区域和全球范围内更好地了解、维持和改善地球环境。全球环境组织的使命是促进科学的教学;提高环境素养和管理能力;促进科学发现。从更广泛的意义上讲，GLOBE计划致力于为工业界、学术界和政府扩大未来科学家和STEM专业人士的管道，并让公民参与收集有关当地环境的数据。第23届GLOBE年会的主题是多样化环境的交叉点。年会的地点位于密歇根州底特律市，位于文化，地理和经济多种多样环境的交叉点。底特律市是美国和加拿大边境上最大的城市，人口超过67万人，大都市区有近600万人。贝儿岛位于底特律市中心，是一个占地982英亩的海岛公园，位于密歇根州和安大略之间的底特律河上。贝儿岛包括一个水族馆，温室，自然中心，和自然领域探索和发现（约1/3的岛屿是天然林地）。这个岛屿可以乘坐汽车和公共汽车到达，是许多类型的小动物，鸟类和昆虫的家园。礼宾培训将允许年会参与者访问贝儿岛。在年会上，将进一步探讨多元化环境的交叉点这一主题。这些股是：1）在城市景观中寻找自然; 2）探索不断变化的环境，3）全球和技术，以及4）全球回馈。将邀请GLOBE社区成员根据主题提出演讲建议。此外，NASA SciAct地球科学教育奖获得者（GLOBE地球使命、AREN项目、北极和地球信号以及NASA地球科学教育合作组织（NESEC））将提供培训。包容和多样性的主题贯穿于所有这些方面。所有演讲者都将被要求考虑他们的演讲、小组讨论和演示的公平性和包容性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program is a worldwide science and education community that currently consists of more than 125 U.S. Partners and 121 Partner Countries. It is a community of students, teachers, scientists, and citizens working together to better understand, sustain, and improve Earth's environment at local, regional, and global scales.The mission of GLOBE is to promote the teaching and learning of science; enhance environmental literacy and stewardship; and promote scientific discovery. More broadly, the GLOBE Program strives to expand the pipeline of future scientists and STEM professionals for industry, academia, and government as well as to engage citizens in collecting data about their local environment.The theme of the 23rd GLOBE Annual Meeting is Intersections of Diverse Environments. The location for the Annual Meeting, Detroit, Michigan, is positioned at the intersection of multiple types of diverse environments culturally, geographically, and economically. The municipality of Detroit, the largest town on the US-Canadian border, has a population of over 670,000 people and the metropolitan area is home to close to 6 million people. Within the urban downtown of Detroit is Belle Isle, a 982-acre island park in the Detroit River between Michigan and Ontario. Belle Isle includes an aquarium, conservatory, nature center, and natural areas to explore and discover (about 1/3 of the island is natural woodlands). The island, which is accessible by car and bus, is home to many types of small animals, birds, and insects. Protocol trainings will allow Annual Meeting participants to visit Belle Isle.At the Annual Meeting, the theme of Intersections of Diverse Environments will be explored further in multiple strands. These strands are: 1) Finding nature in urban landscapes; 2) Exploring changing environments, 3) GLOBE and technology, and 4) GLOBE gives back. GLOBE community members will be invited to propose talks based upon the themes. Additionally, trainings will be offered by NASA SciAct Earth Science Education awardees (GLOBE Mission EARTH, The AREN Project, Arctic and Earth SIGNs, and the NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (NESEC)). Woven through all the strands will be the overarching theme of inclusion and diversity. All presenters will be asked to think about equity and inclusiveness for their talks, panels, and demonstrations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
