  • Abstract
    The GLOBE Program (www.globe.gov) provides a myriad of resources that can be used to support environmental science exploration in classrooms. GLOBE offers a toolkit of measurements designed to support the study of Earth as a system. This toolkit features a variety of measurements that can be used to monitor marine environments. These measurements vary in complexity and equipment requirements. In addition to these measurements, GLOBE provides resources to support conducting environmental research projects. There are currently marine-related projects taking place that feature the use of GLOBE resources. GLOBE is looking at the possibility of packaging materials appropriate for marine environments. This paper describes the GLOBE Program and suggests possible ideas for expanding investigations to include marine environments.
