Webinar Series: Teaching with EMERGE & GLOBE Mission Mosquito
OnlineDe 17 Set até 24 Set, 2025
This free two-part webinar is designed for educators who want to bring coding and citizen science to their learners.
The series bridges GLOBE Mission Mosquito—a NASA-supported program where students and community members collect environmental data—with EMERGE, a Florida-based but widely adaptable project that turns those data into insights about mosquito-borne disease risk.
Session 1 (Sept 17 at 6 PM ET): Introduction to EMERGE and GLOBE. You’ll learn how students can collect mosquito habitat and land cover data with the free GLOBE Observer app, then complete a guided coding assignment to visualize those observations on maps and explore connections with NASA satellite data. Very friendly environment for people who haven't coded before!
Session 2 (Sept 24 at 6 PM ET): We’ll regroup to review the coding assignment—troubleshoot issues, share sample outputs, and discuss strategies for adapting the lesson in classrooms, afterschool programs, and libraries.

Exploring the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Transforming Citizen Science: Privacy, Data Sharing, and Open Science
Online08:00
De 19 Fev até 19 Fev, 2025
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming many fields, but its potential to revolutionise citizen science remains underexplored. Join the ECSA Citizen Science and Open Science working group on 19 February, 12:00 - 13:30 CET for a webinar exploring critical issues around data anonymisation and privacy in large-scale data sharing, and examine how AI can enhance citizen engagement, democratise science, and foster innovative approaches to data management, collection, and analysis.
A key focus will be on integrating citizen science data into AI systems to address challenges and risks, offering a new perspective on co-creating AI through the amai! programme in support of sustainable development and open science.

Whether you’re a swimmer or a paddler, an angler or a rambler, a wildlife spotter or a sit-and-watch-er, download the app and complete the quick survey today! However you love your river, Big River Watch is a chance to be part of the movement improving our freshwater spaces. With our app, you can contribute to a national data set that will help us build a picture of river health.
Postdoc (f/m/x) Citizen science, biodiversity and urban greening plans in Europe
EuropeDe 13 Jul até 23 Jul, 2024
Application deadline: 23.07.2024 -- The UrbanNaturePlans+ (UNPplus, UNP+) project will help develop the next generation of Urban Greening Plans in selected European cities (Mannheim, Berlin, Leipzig, Burgas, Belgrade, Paris, Barcelona), aiming to foster a systemic, integrated, and inclusive planning framework toward bending the curve of biodiversity loss. The UFZ will contribute to UNP+ by advancing citizen science to monitor biodiversity (with a focus on butterflies), and empower citizens and administrators to take more informed decisions on urban green areas. The candidate will advance citizen science efforts; and participate in analyzing how green spaces improve health, wellbeing and equity, as part of a contribution to the implementation of the Berlin Urban Nature Pact.
iNaturalist Citizen Science At Hawk Valley Farm
Hawk Valley Farm, 35 Varnum Ter, Lowell, MA 01854-2130, United States10:00
De 08 Jun até 08 Jun, 2024
oin us for an exciting day of exploration and discovery at Hawk Valley Farm!
We’re calling on all nature enthusiasts, budding scientists, and curious minds. Have you ever wondered about the diverse plant and animal species that call Lowell home? Here’s your chance to find out! We’ll host a special training session on using the iNaturalist app, a tool for documenting and exploring the natural world.
During this event, you’ll learn how to use iNaturalist to record observations of plants, animals, fungi, and more. Afterward, we’ll explore Hawk Valley Farm, a beautiful property brimming with biodiversity.
The event will be held outside and is weather-dependent. Sturdy shoes are recommended.
Citizen & Community Science Roundtable
Kimble Jenkins Carriage House - NH (USA)15:30
De 23 Mai até 23 Mai, 2024
Join us to discuss citizen and community science (also called participatory science) as we explore the potential for a Center for Participatory Sciences at the University of New Hampshire. We are looking to bring together practitioners to identify strengths and opportunities, build community, and develop a collective vision for advancing participatory approaches in NH and surrounding New England communities. Your expertise and insights are critical to ensuring an outcome that is beneficial to you!
This workshop is aimed at anyone who coordinates citizen science, community science or participatory science projects of any topic in NH and/or New England Communities!
Can't attend on May 23 but want to be involved? Email Charlotte to be included in follow up discussions.
This meeting has been coordinated with support from the Association for Advancing Participatory Sciences (AAPS). AAPS is a professional organization devoted to facilitating the exchange of best practices and other knowledge to advance the field of participatory sciences.
Citizen Science as a Path for Sustaining Healthy Waterbodies
Foz do Iguaçu (PR)De 05 Mai até 09 Mai, 2024
O prazo para submissão de resumos é 22 de dezembro de 2023. É com grande satisfação que convidamos a todos e todas a participarem do 37º Congresso da Sociedade Internacional de Limnologia (SIL), que ocorrerá em Foz do Iguaçu, entre os dias 5 e 9 de maio de 2024.
Neste Congresso haverá uma sessão temática “Citizen Science as a Path for Sustaining Healthy Waterbodies” que pode ser um ótimo momento de discussão
sobre as ações de ciência cidadã em nossos ecossistemas aquáticos continentais.
Traga sua pesquisa para as discussões desta sessão, submetendo seu trabalho à SIL. Abstract: Lakes, streams & wetlands are widely ignored by scientists, the public, and decision-makers. Yet, like the smallest blood vessels of an organism’s body, these headwaters are critically important for the healthy functioning and structuring of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Climate change, land use intensification, and water withdrawals create a perfect storm for fragmenting and degrading those small waters—despite their importance to unique, endemic biota and for providing ecosystem services to humans (e.g., flood, drought, & disease mitigation, fisheries, wildlife viewing). It is critically important for scientists to engage not only other scientists—but the public as well. We must assist public school students and teachers in monitoring and assessing water quality and biota, including discussing the results with local decision-makers (private companies and local governments). Engaging school youths is a seed for citizen-science growth and effectiveness. Simplified quantitative field protocols and GoPro filming of reference & impaired streams provide pertinent and appropriate information for communicating with decision-makers. Engaging citizen groups regarding the human health and economic benefits of stream rehabilitation provides information on the ecosystem services offered by healthy streams and riparian communities. With the assistance of our coauthors, we will present global research examples of the values and threats to those aquatic ecosystems together with alternatives for communicating that information to the public and decision-makers.

Beyond “Potential”: Documenting Learning and Stewardship Outcomes of Community and Citizen Science
Viena, Austria (Online)De 10 Abr até 10 Abr, 2024
With over 20 years of experience in studying participatory approaches to environmental science, Dr. Ballard will share the evidence base for the learning and stewardship impacts that participation in community science, citizen science, and related approaches have had. She will also offer some key features of programs that achieve these impacts, and examples of from recent, current, and future research in this area occurring in both expected and novel contexts from her Center for Community and Citizen Science in California, USA.
No dia da palestra, enviaremos um link para a sala de zoom para todas as pessoas externas BOKU registradas. Os alunos do BOKU podem ouvir a palestra no local na Universidade de Recursos Naturais e Ciências da Vida, em Viena.
