Citizen Science: Tracking Climate Change
|
|
Tweet |
| Is your pond ice-free this earlier year? Are the spring flowers poking out of the ground at a different time than they used to? Have you heard bird songs that don't belong? A consortium of researchers is asking the public to help track signs of a changing climate by monitoring phenophases, the recurring plant and animal life cycle events that mark the changing of the seasons. We'll talk with one of the founders of the National Phenology Network about the project. |
