Civic Science and Community Building in the Information Age
Friday January 24, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm EST
Room 4
Civic Science can mobilize millions of participants to collect valuable observations that can support and enhance more traditional research and education activities and build motivated communities. Smartphone and AI technologies are revolutionizing the quantity and quality of observations that can be contributed to what, in some cases, are global databases. We will briefly overview Civic Science and then take a deeper dive into the iNaturalist biodiversity project, which harnesses tens of thousands of users and houses over 190 million global observations. iNat data have been cited in many dozens of peer-reviewed papers and have generated significant insights into life on our planet.

Value to Session Participants: Greater awareness of Civic Science broadly and some major CS initiatives relevant to earth science, and desire to explore work in this arena.

Recommended Ways to Prepare: Participants are encouraged to take a look at iNaturalist.org plus a resources document we plan to upload in advance of the session

  • Session Level
    No prior knowledge or experience - the session skims the surface or is an introduction
    Some prior knowledge AND a quick review of supporting materials before the session will be a sufficient orientation for novices to feel more comfortable in the session
    Some prior knowledge – the session will jump right into an intermediate level
