The Northumbrian Water GLOBE Project

The Northumbrian Water GLOBE Project was a unique scheme linking schools and education centres throughout the North East of England with the GLOBE Programme in order to measure the weather.

The Project set up a network of 85 schools and education centres providing weather data to help predict changes in weather patterns as a result of climate change. 

Northumbrian Water provided a special support package from 2007 to 2009, which included a free automated Weather Station, plus free training and support for one teacher so that the school became registered with the GLOBE Programme.

There were also links to curriculum-related materials to help with classroom teaching on weather issues.  Click here to see the launch event in July 2007.
