AT: Phenology in Focus: Exploring Plant Cycles with iNaturalist

January 22 @ 11:00 am

Free

 

Note: 11:00 am Central Time
Phenology is the study of seasonal events in nature, such as flowers, fruits, and leaf color change. Every plant observation on iNaturalist helps us understand the timing of seasonal cycles.
We need you to help unlock those insights! Even when you aren’t out making observations, you can make a big difference by adding annotations. Join us to learn more about plant phenology and easy ways to get involved!
In this webinar, we’ll cover:
  • Why phenology is so important
  • Examples of phenology research using iNaturalist data
  • How you can help by adding flower and leaf annotations
This webinar is part of a collaboration with Phenobase, a project supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation. We’ll also cover how iNaturalist data flows into Phenobase, and how Phenobase is using your annotations.
Speakers:
Dr. Carrie Seltzer, iNaturalist Head of Engagement
Erin Grady, M.S. Student, Florida Museum of Natural History
Dr. Vijay Barve, Digitization Project Manager, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
Dr. Jeremy B. Yoder, Associate Professor of Biology, California State University Northridge
