Throughout the series, speakers and attendees shared resources which we have compiled in a document here.

The series of eight interactive online webinars will include sessions on the logistics and organizational requirements to manage successful citizen science projects, methods-focused sessions to share best practices in water resources data collection and data use in decision-making, and sessions on integrating citizen science projects in educational settings.

Involved in citizen science? There are a limited number of spaces for 2-minute “pop-up” talks available within this series. View the call for presenters here!

Objectives:

  • To create an informal international network of scientists focused on water resources research who can implement and sustain citizen science projects that generate data to inform research and management decisions.

  • To share best practices and lessons learned about engaging members of the public in water resources monitoring.

  • To introduce a suite of water quantity and quality monitoring methodologies that have been evaluated for their effectiveness and are successfully used by members of the public to collect data that can inform research and management decisions.

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of educational activities using citizen science initiatives.
