Biological experiments performed in space are critical to scientific discovery efforts, but they are complex to execute and difficult to conceptualize. For example, these experiments…
Human-caused (anthropogenic) greenhouse gas emissions and natural systems that produce and absorb greenhouse gases (sources and sinks) interplay in a complicated manner to contribute to…
Over the last several decades, a huge amount of climate data from numerous sources has been collected. This data is freely available to the public,…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), with its unprecedented capabilities, is designed to explore some of the most profound topics in astronomy—from the birth of…
The Sun is highly variable and cycles through periods when its magnetic activity is very high, and times when there is very low or almost…
Planetary seismology missions struggle with the power requirements necessary to send continuous seismic data back to Earth. But only a fraction of this data is…
In 2015, the United Nations created the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Agenda—a set of 17 goals focused on addressing global concerns such as climate…
The Plankton Aerosol Cloud ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite launched and has begun returning data about Earth’s oceans and atmosphere. NASA’s open science policy allows for…
Which exoplanets will be observable with the future Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO)? One way of determining the most interesting exoplanetary targets for HWO would be…
Farmers face a deluge of water-related challenges due to unpredictable weather, pests, and diseases. These factors can significantly impact crop health, farmers’ profits, and food…
Landsat missions have provided the longest continuous dataset of remotely sensed measurements of Earth’s land surface. Comparing ground-based spectral measurements with Landsat Surface Reflectance (SR)…
Our Earth systems are intricately connected on a global scale. For example, climate change can increase the length and severity of droughts, which can make…
Learning about science can be a fun experience! Games that focus on science and environmental issues can create opportunities for players to develop their interests…
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are a series of targets designed to promote human development and protect the environment. Two of the goals concern…
Imagine a scenario where space colonization has reached the point where multiple space stations orbit various celestial bodies within the solar system. Astronauts must live,…
What would the night sky look like if you were standing on one of the many exoplanets discovered by astronomers and space missions? The list…
Participants are invited to create their own challenge to tackle during the hackathon. However, please note that while some Local Events may offer awards for…
Since a mechanical model of the solar system was presented to Charles Boyle, 4th Earl of Orrery, in 1713, such models have been referred to…
A geographic information system (GIS) can create, manage, analyze, and map many types of data. With GIS and other mapping technologies, you can create a…
Embark on a thrilling journey to revolutionise exoplanet education! The discovery of exoplanets has redefined our understanding of planetary systems, expanding what we know about…
Earth's ecosystems heavily rely on sunlight, but imagine an ocean world where chemosynthesis, not photosynthesis, sustains life. Your challenge is to design such a world…
