The Big River Watch
United KingdomDe 06 Set até 12 Set, 2024
Survey your local river between 6th-12th of September and be part of our UK and Ireland-wide survey of river health. Twice a year we run Big River Watch weeks. where we invite you to take part in a simple citizen science activity that helps build a picture of river health across the UK and Ireland. Download the Big River Watch app
You'll need the free app to take part! Download it before you set off to complete your survey. 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.
PhD Studentship: Safe listening in music venues: scalable technologies for citizen science and knowledge building
Nottingham, UKDe 19 Mar até 01 Abr, 2024
This studentship is funded by the NIHR (National Institute of Health and Care Research) Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre. The studentship will cover home University rates which includes a stipend of £18,622 per annum and tuition fees. UK/Home students only.
Project description: Loud sound has the capacity to excite and injure in equal measure. Through projects such as the World Health Organization’s ‘Make Listening Safe’ initiative, the Audio Engineering Society’s ‘Healthy Ears, Limited Annoyance (HeLa) programme, and the Night Time Industries Association’s ‘Listen for Life’ campaign, there is growing awareness of the need for the professional audio industry to take a pro-active approach to protect audience members’ hearing.
Join a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team, that includes lead contributors to some of the above-mentioned projects, to conduct groundbreaking PhD research into how live sound can be made simultaneously safer and better quality, to the benefit of audiences in Nottingham and beyond.
As a PhD candidate, you will be involved in setting up long-term sound monitoring systems in local venues, developing a smartphone app that will allow venue goers to contribute their experience of sound quality and hearing symptoms for research, and using data science techniques to improve our understanding of how the details of the sound exposure influence hearing-injury risk and perceived sound quality.
We seek highly motivated candidates with a first-class or upper 2.1 honours degree (or equivalent), or an MSc/MA, in audio engineering, acoustics, audiology, computer science, or a relevant scientific discipline. Research experience in hearing, psychology, or a related field will be advantageous, as will demonstrable skills in programming, data science, or app development.
Citizen Science EcoAction Day
Crandon Park, Miami (EUA)09:30
De 09 Dez até 09 Dez, 2023
Jon Miami EcoAdventures & local non-profit Debris Free Oceans for our monthly Citizen Science project activity, hosted at Crandon Park every 2nd Saturday. Citizen Science is a way for the general public to be directly involved in the process of scientific data collection and to be engaged in scientific thinking. The goal of this activity is to have volunteers become amateur scientists while working with a group of professional scientists to collect critical data on marine debris in our local environment.
Responsibilities and Duties: • Cleaning up the beach. • Sorting marine debris collected • Gathering and recording data.
Qualifications: Volunteers under 13 must participate with a parent/guardian present. Please brIng a refillable water bottle, closed-toed shoes, and protection from the sun (sunscreen, hats, sunglasses).
GeelongPort Citizen Science day
AustraliaDe 17 Out até 17 Out, 2023
This October, we’re continuing to monitor seasonal biodiversity in saltmarshes as part of the GeelongPort #BlueCarbonArmy citizen science program. It’s a fantastic way to try your hand at citizen science as well as a chance to connect with your local community and learn a little more about blue carbon research.
The data you collect will help our researchers quantify the biodiversity gains from saltmarsh restoration.
We hope you can join us!
