Upcoming Event: Citizen Science & the National Climate Assessment

The vision for the sustained National Climate Assessment involves identifying a set of indicators that can be used to track climate changes, impacts, and responses. A roundtable at the Wilson Center will explore ways in which crowd-based approaches, such as citizen science and community-based monitoring, are and can be used to support indicator networks.
