Why MOnitoring Matters
Why MOnitoring Matters
The heart of this workshop is engaging youth in meaningful science investigations that weave local or indigenous knowledge with GLOBE environmental observation to address a climate change issue important to your community. It is often easy to overlook the importance of long-term monitoring of the environment for solving problems, advocating for change, and planning for the future. Instructors Elena Sparrow, Malinda Chase, and Katie Spellman discuss the value of environmental monitoring for local problem-solving, self-advocacy, and the importance of collaboration between Alaskan youth and communities.
