FOR THE PROPOSED WORK THE OVERALL MISSION IS TO SUPPORT A STRONG USER BASE THAT CONTRIBUTES AND USES GLOBE OBSERVER LAND COVER DATA. SPECIFICALLY TASKS IDENTIFIED WITH THIS WORK ARE: 1. DOCUMENT GLOBE OBSERVER LAND COVER DATA IN A SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION TO LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE RESEARCH. 2. TEST FINAL RELEASE FULL PROTOCOL/APP WITH USERS/INFORMAL EDUCATORS/SCIENTISTS AFTER RELEASE. 3. REPORT USABILITY AND RECOMMEND CHANGES. INCLUDING HOW TO A) SUPPORT SCIENTIST NEEDS FOR SPECIFIC OBSERVATION LOCATIONS AND B) UPDATE THE COMPARISON LAND COVER DATASET AS NEW SCIENCE DATA AND MAPS BECOME AVAILABLE. 4. PROVIDE INPUT INTO DATABASE API REQUIREMENTS TO SUPPORT EXPANDED USE AND PUBLICATION OF THE COLLECTED LAND COVER DATA. 5. PROVIDE INPUT TO THE GLOBE RESEARCH SCIENTIST WHO WILL DRAFT AN APPLICATIONS PLAN FOR GLOBE OBSERVER FOLLOWING NASA GUIDELINES. SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT PLAN. THIS WILL INCLUDE WORKING WITH THE GLOBE RESEARCH SUPPORT SCIENTIST TO IDENTIFY HOW BEST TO SUPPORT SCIENTISTS USE OF LAND COVER DATA AND IDENTIFYING BEST TRAINING/SUPPORT MECHANISMS (WEBINAR WORKSHOP TRAINING DOCUMENTS ETC.) TO TRAIN SCIENTISTS AND APPLICATIONS USERS ON LAND COVER DATA. 6. PROVIDE CONTENT FOR THE LAND COVER TOOLKITS. 7. REPRESENT GLOBE OBSERVER AT RELEVANT CONFERENCES WORKSHOPS AND SYMPOSIA TO INCREASE THE DATA COLLECTION BUILD A STRONG USER BASE AND SHARE RESEARCH FINDINGS (E.G. FORESTSAT AGU CITIZEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATION). 8. LIAISE WITH THE SCIENCE AND APPLICATIONS COMMUNITIES TO INFORM CITIZEN SCIENTISTS OF RESEARCH NEEDS: DEVELOP COORDINATED MESSAGING WITH OTHER SUBJECT MATTER LEADS SCIENTISTS AND THE GLOBE OBSERVER COMMUNICATIONS LEAD; SUPPORT CITIZEN SCIENTISTS. 9. PROVIDE/REVIEW SCIENCE?BASED GLOBE/GLOBE OBSERVER TRAINING MATERIAL TO EDUCATE PARTNERS (AS NEEDED). 10. PROVIDE/REVIEW SCIENCE?BASED COMMUNICATION MATERIAL TO REPORT BACK TO CITIZEN SCIENTISTS ON HOW SCIENCE AND APPLICATION COMMUNITY USES DATA (AS NEEDED). 11. IDENTIFY CONTACT AND CONTRIBUTE TO DATABASE OF SCIENTISTS. 12. SUPPORT OUTREACH EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES AS NEEDED INCLUDING SOCIAL MEDIA.
