Summary
| Description | We live, play and work with trees everywhere around the globe. The Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign commenced on September 15, 2018 in conjunction with NASA's ICESat-2 satellite launch on the same date at 6:02am PDT. The ICESat-2 satellite uses an on-board laser altimeter system to measure the height of Earth. Measurements of ice sheets, sea ice, trees, bodies of water, mountains are all part of what ICESat-2 measures. The Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign is a GLOBE Program campaign focusing on tree height - one of the measurements conducted by the ICESat-2 mission. As part of the GLOBE Program, students and teachers from 121 countries can participate in the campaign, share their data around the world, and collaborate with students and teachers to design research projects based on the data collected within GLOBE and from the NASA ICESat-2 Mission.
