Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign

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.
