During the month of April and May 2024, the NESTA leadership will host a community science project that brings classrooms together to investigate the sky above by simply collecting cloud data. This data, while simple, is both an important source of community-generated scientific information, as well as the foundation for a student exploration to describe Earth system connections, which includes exploring the coastal impacts of climate change. (A quandary of coastal consequences connected to cloudy skies )
