Abstract The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a vision for achieving sustainable future. Reliable, timely, comprehensive, and consistent data critical measuring progress towards, ultimately achieving, the SDGs. Data from citizen science represent one new source of that could be used SDG reporting monitoring. However, information is still lacking regarding current potential contributions to indicator framework. Through systematic review metadata work plans 244 indicators, as well...
Members of the public are making substantial contributions to science as citizen scientists, and advances in technologies have enabled citizens make even more contributions. Technologies that allow computers machines function an intelligent manner, often referred artificial intelligence (AI), now being applied science. Discussions about guidelines, responsibilities, ethics AI usage already happening outside field We suggest such considerations should also be explored carefully context...
The Gangdese belt in southern Tibet includes the Cretaceous to early Eocene continental magmatic arc, a newly recognized Middle Jurassic and post-Gangdese arc magmatism of Miocene age that is well known for its association with important copper-molybdenum deposits. Although tectonic history relatively constrained, tectonomagmatic setting events was poorly constrained previously. Geochronological analysis samples from Xietongmen copper-gold porphyry district has identified previously unknown...

The Pebble deposit is located ∼320 km southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. It one the largest porphyry deposits known with a total resource 10.78 billion tons (Bt). comprises East and West zones, which are approximately equal in size, slightly lower grade mineralization center where peripheries two zones merge. zone was discovered by Cominco America 1989 Northern Dynasty Minerals 2005. oldest rock district Jurassic-Cretaceous Kahiltna flysch unit, contains basinal turbidites, interbedded basalt...
We introduce the Ambient Birdhouse, a novel IoT design for home that seeks to encourage awareness and discovery of birds outside. People increasingly have routines technologies disconnect them from nature. Moreover are hard come know, seen but not heard, heard seen, or simply around when we not. The Birdhouse aims reconcile these positions, by using local bird media leverage people's playfulness curiosity, calmly sustain interest over time ultimately garner engagement in nature conservation...
Monitoring threatened species is vital for effective conservation, and citizen science can fill information gaps where professionally derived monitoring data are unavailable or guide further survey efforts may be warranted. Yet the geographic taxonomic coverage of projects poorly understood. Using a snapshot in time approach, we reviewed Australia 2017 identified 133 contributing to conservation action both terrestrial marine environments. Most (61%) relevant 10 fewer species. Relevant tend...
Abstract Well‐designed citizen science projects can improve the capacity of scientific community to detect and understand declines in threatened species, with emergence frameworks guide good design, there is an opportunity test whether are aligned best practice. We assessed current landscape for species conservation via a content analysis online communique across Australia. Only 2% stated clear research questions, although approximately 86% had implied project objectives aimed at...
In response to the need for approaches understand how citizen science is currently influencing environmental policy and associated decision making, we devised Citizen Science Impact StoryTelling Approach (CSISTA). We iteratively designed instruments be used as tools primarily practitioners seeking or communicate impacts. then trialled CSISTA on four exemplary initiatives, using different forms of inquiry collaboration with respective initiative leaders. this paper, present CSISTA, details...
Abstract Advancing technology represents an unprecedented opportunity to enhance our capacity conserve the Earth's biodiversity. However, this great potential is failing materialize and rarely endures. We contend that unleashing power of for conservation requires internationally coordinated strategy connects community policy-makers with technologists. argue international entity could (1) provide vision leadership, (2) coordinate deliver key services necessary ensure translation from...
Plastic debris within marine environments is an issue of global concern, leading to commitments at international, regional, and national scales remove plastics from the environment prevent further entry. The United Nations (UN) created a framework 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with several goals advance environmental dimension sustainable development, country progress tracked by targets their indicators. Countries voluntarily report on basis guidance provided UN what data needed....
An increasing variety of technologies are being developed to support conservation endangered wildlife; however, comparatively little attention has been devoted their design. We undertook three years ethnographic fieldwork and design research with the recovery team an Australian bird (the Eastern bristlebird) explore team's culture practices, as well perspectives on including collection analysis environmental acoustic recordings into praxis. Through thematic analysis, we identified collective...
Acoustic sensing has been hailed as a game-changer for detecting furtive wildlife, but uptake constrained by the laborious process of reviewing resultant torrents audio data. To inform design interactive interfaces recordings, we explored how people interact with aural and visual media about birds. We observed twelve participants different levels interest in birds engaged vocalization visualizations bird calls, photographs, range maps three species. By conducting thematic analysis,...
There is currently no standardised way to share information across disciplines about initiatives, including fields such as health, environment, basic science, manufacturing, media and international development. All problems, complex global problems air pollution pandemics require reliable data sharing between in order respond effectively. Current reporting methods also lack the ways which different people organisations are involved making it difficult collate appraise most effective involve...
Acoustic sensors offer a promising new tool to detect furtive animals; however, sifting through years of audio data is fraught with challenges. Developing automatic detection software still requires large dataset calls that have been accurately annotated by experts. Few studies explored how people identify species vocalisations in the wild, and this skill can be applied designing technologies for locating identifying recordings. To explore birders often find animals share their observations,...
Wildlife calls are the best witnesses to health of ecosystems, if only we know how listen them. Efforts understand and inform restoration healthy ecosystems with environmental audio recordings languish from insufficient tools learn identify sounds in recordings. To address this problem, designed playtested Bristle Whistle Challenge prototype ten players. We explored design delightful interactions for gaining awareness nature supporting wildlife conservation through citizen science. found...
