Members of the Science Directorate at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia were part of a team that won the 2020 Robert H. Goddard Award in Outreach for exceptional innovation reaching families and the public at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The award was given to team members and scientists involved in the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to benefit the Environment Program) Program’s GLOBE Observer app. The app allows citizen scientists to submit observations that benefit scientists who study different facets of Earth’s environment, including clouds, mosquito habitats, land cover and trees. GLOBE Observer Clouds, which ran a community cloud challenge in 2020, is led out of Langley. Winners from Langley are Kristopher Bedka, Brant Dodson, Tina Harte, Ali Omar, Angela Rizzi, Tina Rogerson, Jessica Taylor, Patrick Taylor and Marilé Colón Robles.
