This project will focus on developing the capacity to expose and visualize GLOBE data collected by citizen scientists and students in the geoscience mobile app Flyover Country (FC). This application for mobile devices displays Earth data and geologic maps drawn from public databases, and caches this information on the mobile device for offline use. The user can then access a wealth of curated geoscience content while in flight, on a road trip, or on a hike. In addition to presenting GLOBE data alongside with other data, the project will develop associated visualization and interactivity functions for FC. These functions include a "mission" or "call to action" for the user to collect GLOBE observations if his or her driving FC path intersects a region that is underrepresented with respect to GLOBE data; a time slider to visualize changes in data point values over time (i.e., the past 20 years of GLOBE data collection); and an application programming interface to improve access to GLOBE data. These functions will be of great utility not only to the GLOBE user cases, but also to all users of FC and potential users/analysts of GLOBE data. GLOBE data in FC will also benefit from novel cartographic visualization strategies being developed.It is expected that GLOBE data will accessible to the 100,000 users of FC. In addition, there is the possibility of developing new exercises for use in classrooms where computers may be limited, but access to mobile devices may be more within reach. The investigators will assess the use of FC-with-GLOBE in the classes at a community college, and use the same assessments with other groups, including diverse undergraduate students conducting research, Native American students in K-12 science camps, and students in attending universities and field camps. The results will be shared in one or more publications. The promotion of the GLOBE Program to the academic research community, through the incipient development of FC as a research application, will raise awareness of the program as a highly desirable partner for developing meaningful broader impacts activities.

该项目将着重于发展地球科学移动应用程序（FC）公民科学家和学生收集的全球数据的能力。该移动设备应用程序显示了从公共数据库中绘制的地球数据和地质图，并在移动设备上缓存此信息以供离线使用。然后，用户可以在飞行，公路旅行或远足时访问大量精心策划的地球科学内容。除了呈现Globe数据以及其他数据以及FC的相关可视化和交互性函数外，该项目还将为Globe数据提供。这些功能包括“任务”或“行动呼吁”，如果他或她的驾驶fc路径与地球数据相交的区域相交，则用户可以收集地球仪观察。随着时间的推移（即，全球数据收集的过去20年），可以看到数据点值的变化；以及一个应用程序编程接口，以改善对地球数据的访问。这些功能不仅适用于全球用户案例，而且对全球数据的所有潜在用户/分析师都提供了效用。 FC中的Globe数据还将受益于正在开发的新制图可视化策略。预计FC的100,000用户将访问Globe数据。此外，有可能在计算机可能受到限制的教室中开发新的练习，但访问移动设备的访问范围可能更高。调查人员将评估社区学院的课程中使用FC-With-Globe的使用，并与其他群体进行相同的评估，包括从事研究的多样化的本科生，K-12科学训练营的美国原住民学生以及参加大学和实地营地的学生。结果将在一个或多个出版物中共享。通过FC作为研究应用程序的初步发展，将球计划推广为学术研究界，将提高人们对该计划的认识，以发展有意义的广泛影响活动。
