Pollen Trackers
December 19, 2019
Approved POMN volunteer opportunity
Log hours to FR: Citizen Science with Pollen Trackers & your activities in the “Describe Your Service” box. Thank you!
Pollen Trackers is an effort to collect data on when mountain cedar trees (otherwise known as Ashe’s juniper or Juniperus ashei) are releasing pollen. The observations you make will help us to predict when people are exposed to this highly allergenic pollen and eventually develop a regional pollen forecast system for “cedar fever.”
We are inviting people from across central Texas to join us by signing up as an observer, finding a few conveniently located mountain cedar trees to track, and regularly submitting observations between December and February when these pollen cones are opening.
This project is being directed by Drs. Daniel Katz and Elizabeth Matsui at the University of Texas at Austin; if you have questions you can email them at dan.katz@austin.utexas.edu.
