Citizen Science

[L&L Knight <>]

A number of B-Aussers are involved in atlassing and many like to  
report their first cuckoo observations.  There is a Phenology Network  
in the USA - is there an equivalent in Aus?

Citizen scientists monitor plants, animals and crops
The USA National Phenology Network opened in 2007. The aim is to  
monitor biology across the US. Plants and animals are indicators of  
changing climate. 5,000 citizen scientists track migrating animals or  
flowering times of plants. The information is entered on a website and  
analysed by ecologists. It is hoped the data will allow mapping of  
ecological change as climate changes.
