NASA’s GLOBE Observer is launching a new campaign starting on April 15, 2021.

2021 Community Trees Challenge: Science is Better Together

As shown in the video above, we are needed to provide measurements of trees in our own neighborhood. The data that we collect will then be compared to data from the ICESat-2 mission and other satellites that orbit the globe.

The challenge is set to run from April 15 through May 15. Its goal is to have us Learn, Create, and Engage with trees, all to help NASA scientists’ data collection.
