The GLOBE Asia–Pacific Regional Coordination Office proudly invites students, educators, scientists, and citizen scientists to the 6th Asia–Pacific Virtual Wetland Symposium. This annual gathering, held in honor of International Wetland Day, serves as a platform to celebrate wetlands, explore their ecological importance, and showcase student-led research
A key highlight of the Students’ Research Symposium (SRS) is the use of GLOBE Hydrology Data for data visualization, enabling students to transform raw scientific measurements into meaningful insights for community action. By monitoring local wetlands and water bodies, students are not only learning science but also contributing to solutions for water pollution, ecosystem protection, and climate resilience.
Objectives of the Students’ Research Symposium
01
Promote Environmental Awareness:
Strengthen understanding of wetlands and ecosystems.
02
Encourage Student Research:
Apply GLOBE Hydrology Protocols to real-world data collection.
03
