The Goal
Climate change affects current and future generations; adaptation and risk mitigation is necessary. In 2019 we set out to research how software can help deal with the impacts.
With the advent of new technologies for environmental monitoring and tools for sharing information, citizens are more and more engaged in collecting environmental data, and many environmental agencies are using these data. A significant challenge, however, is that data users, such as federal, state, and local agencies, are sometimes skeptical about the quality of the data collected by citizen science organizations. We would like you to help us research, and gather data on international citizen science software applications & data sources (eg. open source projects, marketplaces, and applications). Research on how citizen science new technologies collect, analyze and report environmental data, this information will be saved on a template which we will provide.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
- Collect publicly available information on citizen science websites & applications (information that can be gathered without interviews)
- Gather further information by preparing questionnaires and interviewing citizen scientist website owners
- Analyze the results of your research and identify similarities (such as features & benefits, data, approaches, licensing, etc.) and areas for further study
