One major discovery of the GLOBE project is that published geographic descriptions of case study research sites are commonly vague and ambiguous, making it difficult to reuse these studies in global and regional synthesis research. Now, we demonstrate this in a new paper using analyses based on GLOBE’s case quality scores in the Annals of the American Association

105 study sites from 2013 Paper on Wetland Conversion Now in GLOBE!
Peter Verburg, Professor of Environmental Spatial Analysis and head of the Department Spatial Analysis and Decision Support at the Institute for Environmental Studies, VU University Amsterdam, has completed the first bulk upload of 105 cases from a 2013 PLoS One global meta-analysis on drivers of wetland conversion using GLOBE Bulk Upload Template. The cases represent
Arun Agrawal PNAS Commentary Highlights Value of GLOBE for Studying Protected Areas
A recent PNAS Commentary by Arun Agrawal of the University of Michigan highlights the usefulness of applying global datasets available in GLOBE to matching-based techniques for studying protected area effectiveness. Writing on data limitations for matching-based approaches, Agrawal notes: “The issue of data gaps is characteristic of many matching studies of PAs, although additional global
First paper utilizing GLOBE Representativeness Analysis published!
Patrick Meyfroidt and colleagues writing in Environmental Research Letters have published the first peer-reviewed land change science paper utilizing GLOBE’s powerful Representativeness Analysis Tool. The paper, “Multiple pathways of commodity crop expansion in tropical forest landscapes” utilized Representativeness Analysis to examine possible geographic biases in their study of commodity crop expansion in tropical forest landscapes across a
GLP Open Science Meeting a Success!
GLOBE officially went live this past week at the 2nd Global Land Project (GLP) Open Science Meeting (OSM) in Berlin, Gemany last week (March 19-21). The conference featured a variety of opportunities for land change science researchers to become familiar with, and use GLOBE for the first time. During the conference a GLOBE information table
