iGLOBE MINI VIDEO: Allan Baer, President of SolarQuest and Interim Executive Director of The Global Challenge Awards, Inc. introduces plans for the iGlobe Mini DVG Technology.
Sponsored by SolarQuest in collaboration with iGlobe, Inc. and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
under National Science Foundation (NSF) Award #1416970
The Carbon Research Collaborative will engage public schools in Action Research inquiries on the impact of anthropogenic climate change on Earth’s Biosphere and human populations. Using data from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2) and other NASA satellites students will: (a) measure global carbon (CO2) emissions; and (b) assess Earth’s capacity to sequester CO2 in the Biosphere. Research outcomes will be displayed on iGlobe, Inc.Digital Video Globe (DVG) instructional technology software, and on the Climate and Health ANalysis for Global Education Viewer (CHANGE Viewer) using NASA World Wind.
Our aim is to examine the potential of Action Research – teachers and students collaborating with the science research community – combined with the use of cutting-edge satellite infrastructure and DVG instructional technologies to: (i) raise students’ comprehension of and improve students’ attitudes toward STEM education and careers; and (ii) educate youth and the general public on risks of unmitigated global warming.
The Carbon Research Collaborative has emerged from over two decades of Climate Action Education programs by SolarQuest, including projects in collaboration with the White House (Clinton administration). the United Nations and the National Science Foundation.
