This document summarizes environmental data collected from 2001-2011 at a GLOBE site in Estonia located at 58.5205° N, 25.6266° E. Measurements included atmospheric temperature and pressure, hydrology, soil temperature, and plant phenology. Some key findings were very cold/warm winters in 2009/2010 and 2007/2008, and warmer summers in 2009 and 2008. Dissolved oxygen and pH in surface water were also measured from 2003-2006. The document also describes GLOBE activities in Estonia such as camps, workshops in other countries, and a 5th anniversary celebration in 2005.

The document discusses various aquatic insects found in freshwater and how they are adapted to live in water. It describes the pond skater, caddisfly, dragonfly, damselfly, beautiful demoiselle, great diving beetle, whirligig beetle, mayfly, water scorpion, and backswimmer. For each it provides details about their size, appearance, behavior, life cycle, and adaptations for an aquatic lifestyle.
This document summarizes the activities and measurements conducted as part of the GLOBE program at Tääksi Basic School between 2001-2009. It includes:
- Atmospheric and hydrological measurements conducted between 2001-2009, including air temperature, pressure, clouds, soil temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH.
- Phenology observations of green-up and green-down of birch trees.
- Summer camps, workshops, and teacher trainings held in Estonia and abroad to teach students about freshwater ecology, climate studies, and the GLOBE program.
- Student research projects comparing Estonia's climate to other countries and measuring the ice cover on Tääksi Lake.
