iNaturalist Webinar: Phenology in Focus

Phenology is the study of seasonal events in nature such as flowers, fruits, and leaf color change.
Each photo of a plant contains critical information about the presence or absence of flowers, fruits, and leaves. 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.

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.
