Abstract	The Digital Earth Initiative will be a virtual representation of our planet that enables a person to explore and interact with the vast amounts of natural and cultural information gathered about the Earth. A primary goal of Digital Earth is to unlock the world's knowledge by simplifying access to geo-referenced information. The Digital Earth Vision is to provide interoperability of geo-referenced digital resources. Digital Earth supports decision-making, geo-information management, increasing knowledge, and scientific discovery and dissemination to support a sustainable human world. The GLOBE Program on the 25th anniversary of Earth Day April 22, 1995, the GLOBE Program officially began. Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) is a hands-on international environmental science and education program. GLOBE links students, teachers, and the scientific research community in an effort to learn more about our environment through student data collection and observation. The goals of GLOBE are to: enhance the environmental awareness of individuals throughout the world contribute to scientific understanding of the Earth help all students reach higher levels of achievement in science and mathematics. GLOBE is a hands-on, minds-on program in which students will become the environmental experts for their study sites. The GLOBE Program fosters the creation of a worldwide research team, comprised of students and teachers in collaboration with environmental scientists for generating knowledge about the Earth as an interconnected system. Learning activities are designed to promote the understanding of science using tools such as visualizations and satellite images.
