Discovery Science Program

Discovery Science Program

The Cibolo Nature Center features the GLOBE Program in a unique after-school learning experience. Through this international environmental science and education partnership, GLOBE students contribute to a better understanding of the planet by making regular research observations at thousands of locations around the world, then sharing their information on the Internet.

At the CNC, students select a study site along Cibolo Creek, then take regular measurements of various atmospheric, hydrological, biological, and geological features.  The students then send their findings to a GLOBE data processing facility.  Their data is combined with input from other GLOBE schools around the world and with other science sources, such as satellite imagery, to create dynamic, online images of Earth.  The GLOBE student data are available to the general public at www.globe.gov.
