This week’s CMOR photo is from Greenville County, #SouthCarolina.
“Photo shows hilltop horse pasture. Nearby private weather station shows 1.75" rainfall received during previous 14 days and 2.28" received during previous 30 days. Average monthly rainfall in Greenville, SC for November and December is 3.0" and 4.0”, respectively (per climate-data.org).”

It’s a #lostbones #FossilFriday! 🐂🦥🐴🐘🐪🐟🍃 A revisit to the Bison skull at the Anoka County Historical Society in central MN! This time for skull metrics. The skull, discovered in the 1970s, has a 72cm core span.
It turns out the peat-bog bovid had some friends. After working with staff, we found the collection has partial remains of up to four bison - four right mandibles!

Auszeichnung für #Arktis-Projekt: Die ehemalige #AWI-Biologin Anna Natalie Meyer, hat den #CitizenScience-Preis „Wissen der Vielen“ erhalten. ❄️
Sie hat den 3. Preis für ihren Beitrag über die Untersuchung von #Plastikmüll an arktischen Stränden auf #Spitzbergen erhalten, den sie zusammen mit Birgit Lutz & Melanie Bergmann @MBergmann veröffentlicht hat. Ein wichtiger Teil des Projekts war die Unterstützung durch Citizen Scientists während touristischer Reisen. Herzlichen Glückwunsch 🤗

I have started using #BOINC with #ScienceUnited to use the spare computing resources on my #MacMini #server. Science United seems great as they don't require users to specify projects — instead you choose fields to support. This makes sure that it's not only massive projects that have access to volunteer computing.

I just had such a fascinating morning. I live in Chateauguay on Montreal’s South Shore and my property was chosen to be one location for the Montreal Seismic Monitoring Project.
Prof. Yajing Liu and her assistant buried a small seismograph in my front yard. It has a lithium battery in the top. The other pointy end screws off when the team wants to access the data once it’s collected.

Ein großes Dankeschön an alle, die sich in diesem Jahr an unserer Aktion "Zeit für die Nacht" #Nachtlichter beteiligt haben! Am Ende wurden rund 125.000 einzelne Lichtquellen kategorisiert! Unsere Teilnehmer sind insgesamt über 400 km zu verschiedenen Nachtzeiten gelaufen, um zu untersuchen, welche Arten von Lichtern zu welcher Nachtzeit ausgeschaltet werden.
Ich freue mich darauf, die Ergebnisse mit den Teilnehmern und mit Ihnen allen zu teilen!
😇 Ich freue mich darauf, am 23.11. bei der #partwiss23 an der @tuchemnitz Erfahrungen mit #Hackathons u.ä. partizipativen Formaten von @tibosl & @nfdi4culture vorzustellen.
⚠️ Spoiler: #Forschungsdaten, die von vornherein nach #FAIR-Prinzipien behandelt werden, erlauben nebenher auch eher #CitizenScience. Kontinuierliche transparente Workflows zur Verarbeitung (Stichwort Git sowie @wikidata & @wbstakeholders) machen Daten noch einladender.

EARTH'S RING CURRENT JUST SPRANG A LEAK:
"During this past weekend's strong G3-class geomagnetic storm, low-latitude #auroras spread as far south as #Texas and #Arizona. Upon further review, most of those lights were not auroras at all. Everything #red in this montage is an 'SAR arc'.
"'On Nov. 5th, the ring current was pumped up by hours of strong geomagnetic storming, with energy dissipating into these SAR arcs,' says Jeff Baumgardner of Boston University's Center for Space Physics. 'It was a global event. Our cameras registered #SAR arc activity from #Italy to #NewZealand.'
"Recent research has linked SAR arcs to another phenomenon that is not an aurora: #STEVE. The #mauve ribbon in the sky was not originally thought to have anything to do with Earth's ring current. Yet in 2015, observers in New Zealand caught a bright red SAR arc transforming itself into STEVE like a caterpillar into a butterfly.
"On Nov. 5th, Mark Savage may have witnessed the same metamorphosis over Northumberland, #UK:
"Visible to the naked eye, STEVE materialized from an overhanging red arc. 'The entire process took about 10 minutes,' says Savage. This timescale roughly matches that of another SAR-to-STEVE transition observed over Canada in April 2022. Clearly, the two phenomena are linked, but researchers aren't sure how.
"'The connection is still elusive,' says Carlos Martinis, a leading researcher in the field at Boston University. 'Sometimes SAR arcs evolve into STEVE--but not always. This is a very active field of research, involving citizen scientists and researchers.'
"Did you see an SAR arc on Nov. 5th? Submit your pictures to Spaceweather.com."

#novascotia #citizenscience is providing our governments with valuable research in an attempt to save and promote #biodiversity in our forests. Most recently they identified and reported another old growth site. "... (you) have big mature healthy trees ... you can analyze it, but you also can feel it, that you're in a forest that's whole, it's not trying to become something else. It's not a young forest that is on its way, it actually has all of its components to it."

@RadarScope users can submit mPING reports within that app by clicking the share button at the bottom of the screen and selecting mPING Report.
For both methods (mPING app and RadarScope) there is no login required and no personally identifiable information is sent.
One of the simplest #CitizenScience things people can do to help meteorologists is to download the mPING app and report what they’re seeing, including precipitation, wind damage, flooding, etc.
Reporting is quick and can be done as frequently as you’d like. Many NWS offices use these reports for situational awareness and to confirm how ground conditions compare to what’s on the #weather radar.
Available for both iOS and Android by searching mPING in the relevant app store.

Angry at the state of our waterways, and sewage dumping in our seas?
Rob Hopkins shares how 3 Transition groups along the Exe teamed up to turn outrage into local, practical action to restore, protect and celebrate their precious river.
Sustainable Tiverton, Transition Exeter and Transition Exmouth worked together to create Friends of the River Exe (FORE), a vibrant campaign to bring everyone connected to the river together, through festival events, citizen science, conservation and more.
They were supported by a partnership grant from Transition Together seedfunding, made possible by The National Lottery Community Fund and National Lottery Players.
What could you unlock when you join together with others in your area and with a little extra resource?

“Conspiracy theories are inherently exciting,” says sociologist Lars de Wildt.
#Conspiracy theories and #misinformation are not just a rational problem, they have an emotional component."
"With #CitizenScience and similar approaches, #science communicators want to educate citizens to be critical and doubt truths. In unexpected and sometimes undesirable ways, conspiracy theorists are doing just that."
#PPOD: Beautiful Jupiter
The Juno mission's JunoCam has taken some lovely images in seven years at the gas giant, including this one of Jupiter's "eye" captured early on during Perijove 09. The key to these amazing pictures, however, is in the citizen scientists who process them. Learn more: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing

Amateur astronomers are vital for healthy progress in astronomical research. That's why the International Astronomy Union (IAU) is organising a meeting to foster collaboration between amateur and professional astronomers:

#CitizenScience I’ll be doing a few surveys over this weekend for The Big River Watch to gather data on the state of our rivers and wildlife. Why not join in - surveys are only 15 minutes and it’s all done via an app. https://theriverstrust.org/take-action/the-big-river-watch
Good news: #iNaturalist upgraded last night to include "Geomodel," so now you'll see "Expected Nearby" instead of "Seen Nearby." All the changes are detailed on its blog, but I especially enjoyed reading the section titled, "Future direction: Surfacing unusual observations." Now there's a way to automatically bin observations that deserve scrutiny for range expansion and misidentification. Awesome work. #nature #identification #CitizenScience #biology #photography #biogeography #software #maps #models

In het onderzoek van het @rivm naar de betrouwbaarheid van zelfgebouwde geluidmeters, komt Waag Futurelab als beste uit de test!
De #opensource geluidmeter – de Amsterdam Sounds kit - die Waag ontwikkelde, bleek na uitgebreid testen het meest betrouwbaar en stabiel.
