"Anyone Know What Species This Is?" - Twitter Conversations as Embryonic Citizen Science Communities.
Social media like blogs, micro-blogs or social networks are increasingly being investigated and employed to detect and predict trends for not only social and physical phenomena, but also to capture environmental information.

متن کاملSeason Spotter: Using Citizen Science to Validate and Scale Plant Phenology from Near-Surface Remote Sensing
The impact of a rapidly changing climate on the biosphere is an urgent area of research for mitigation policy and management. Plant phenology is a sensitive indicator of climate change and regulates the seasonality of carbon, water, and energy fluxes between the land surface and the climate system, making it an important tool for studying biosphere–atmosphere interactions. To monitor plant phen...
