Public Talk: Citizen science and collaborative approaches to climate change research in the Adirondacks
Friday January 30, 10:10 PM in Freer Auditorium at Paul Smith’s College. All welcome.
Title: Citizen science and collaborative approaches to climate change research in the Adirondacks
Synopsis: In recent years colleges, research stations, museums, and nature preserves have started implementing long-term monitoring activities to detect and understand the effects of climate change on ecosystems. At the same time, increased use of smartphones and a growing interest among citizen scientists has led to the development of several web-based databases and social networks tailored to naturalists. These web-based smartphone apps, including eBird, iNaturlaist, iMapInvasives, and Nature’s Notebook, are enhancing the role of the citizen scientist in regional research. Dr. Schwartzberg will discuss web- and network-based approaches scientists and land managers are using for regional climate change research.
