With the majority of Australia's population residing in large cities, this diverse potential pool of participants in science creates a significant opportunity to increase the spatial and temporal scale of research. Herein, we provide an overview of Australian urban citizen science projects based on ...
Citizen science can be a viable mechanism to foster productive linkages between community and government for sustainable water resource management. In Australia, this potential has longstanding policy support but research into program extent, characteristics or impact on decision-making processes has been ...
Citizen science is an increasingly acknowledged approach applied in many scientific domains, and particularly within the environmental and ecological sciences, in which non-professional participants contribute to data collection to advance scientific research. We present contributory citizen science as a valuab...
Haklay leads Extreme Citizen Science (ExCiteS), an initiative that helps remote communities around the world develop their own research projects to solve local issues by combining their traditional knowledge with technology. The project has so far been linked to 14 peer-reviewed articles. “We follow...
For example in the Atlas of Living Australia [2]“Citizen science is a very important source of data about biodiversity. Data and insights gained through the efforts of citizen scientists can be as valuable as those obtained by scientists working in academia, natural history collections, government...
The divers, five of whom were trained volunteers with an Australia-based citizen science group called Reef Life Survey, had already spent many hours underwater searching after receiving a tip from the public about a sighting of the critically imperiled species. Now, after more than two hours wit...
Traditional data sources are not sufficient for measuring the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. New and non-traditional sources of data are required. Citizen science is an emerging example of a non-traditional data source that is already maki
Zooniverse now offers several citizen science projects, including three more using NASA data. Moon Zoo volunteers use data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to count craters, helping write the history of the moon. Milky Way project participants scour infrared images gathered in twoNASASpitzer ...
Scistarter and Zooniverse are two websites that list citizen-science projects in which you can take part.(每个人都可以参与对抗气候变化。Scistarter和Zooniverse是两个列出你可以参与的公民科学项目的网站。)及四个项目的内容介绍可知,四个项目的共同点他们专注于应对气候变化。故选D。
Citizen science projects are the scientific equivalent of crowdsourced projects like the Wikipedia and open street maps. The number and scope of such projects has increased greatly in recent years thanks to simplified geolocation and the Internet2,3. Some early projects involved the passive ...
