Great Barrier Reef bleaching is accelerating at a dangerous pace, and yet, hope rises from a unique blend of technology, data, and collective action. In this powerful episode, Andrew talks to Andy Ridley, the founding CEO of Citizens of the Reef, about how they are building one of the most ambitious citizen science movements on the planet. They discuss how climate change rapidly degrades one of the world's natural wonders and how empowering ordinary people to contribute data can shift the tide toward reef recovery. Citizen science plays a key role in understanding reef health on a massive scale—especially when the area is as vast as the U.S. West Coast. Andy Ridley shares how his organization merges real-time data collection, AI, and local participation to inform reef management and climate resilience. If you've ever wondered how tech, policy, and everyday action can converge to protect the ocean, this episode is a must-listen.

With 73,000 kilometres of rivers, measuring water quality is a large exercise for the EPA and the Local Authorities. UCD decided to enlist the help of citizen scientists, supported by LAWPRO, the local authorities water programme.

From butterflies to birds, experts and citizen scientists unite in a shared mission to monitor and protect nature's habitats. On my show this week, we zoom in on the declining richness of Luxembourg's biodiversity and why it matters. From powerful EU projects to local volunteers counting butterflies, my guests show how citizen science can be crucial to help collect data in a clear and scientific manner. Dr. Youri Martin, Senior R&T Engineer in biodiversity at LIST, is at the heart of Luxembourg's monitoring systems. As principal investigator of the BIODIV project, Youri and his team track protected species using standardised data methods. He coordinates the Luxembourg Pollinator Monitoring Scheme, where volunteers conduct pollinator transect walks and pan trapping to observe bees, butterflies and other insects. “Consistency in data is everything. It allows us to see real trends,  and the picture is concerning.” Over 60% of butterfly mass abundance has declined in just over a decade. Citizen science has gripped John Park, who created Bee Together.  From identifying butterflies to pan-trapping pollinators, John works hands-on with LIST and is cited among contributors to the new Butterfly Atlas of Luxembourg. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not,” he quotes from The Lorax. John's work has even contributed to published research on genetic drift in insects . Joining us from Austria was Gerid Hager, a research scholar at IIASA and a key figure in the EU's FRAMEwork project and Urban ReLeaf initiative. Gerid emphasised the strength of collaborative data collection from farmers and citizens alike. “This isn't just about data, it's about community, ownership, and the cultural shift towards biodiversity-friendly agriculture.” On the birding front, Patric Lorgé, field ornithologist at natur&ëmwelt, has spent decades building Luxembourg's bird monitoring network. With over 120 volunteers, he has standardised the national tracking of bird populations and authored Vögel Luxemburgs. Patric has personally observed 283 of the 336 bird species in Luxembourg, contributing vital knowledge to EU conservation frameworks like Natura 2000. Digitally documenting this natural world is Paul Braun, Digital Curator at the National Museum of Natural History Luxembourg (MNHNL). As the Luxembourg node manager for GBIF and site manager of iNaturalist.lu, Paul promotes citizen science through technology. The iNaturalist app, he explains, allows users to photograph and identify wild species globally. "The data doesn't just sit there—it feeds into research, policy, and international conservation." The show also highlighted the upcoming City Nature Challenge, a global bioblitz encouraging everyone to document as many species as possible in their city using iNaturalist. Last year Luxembourg contributed over 9,000 observations. “This is where science becomes personal and powerful,” says Paul. So, whether you're walking transects, installing pan traps, identifying birds or just using an app in your garden, you are a vital part of Luxembourg's biodiversity mission. The data you collect today could shape conservation policy tomorrow. As Youri said, “We can't protect what we don't understand. And we can't understand what we don't observe.” https://www.list.lu/en/environment/project/biodiv-iiia/ https://www.list.lu/en/environment/project/lupoms/ https://beetogetherlux.wordpress.com/ https://iiasa.ac.at/ https://www.naturemweltasbl.lu/produit/exemple-de-produit-4/ https://www.mnhn.lu/science/2024/07/11/ferrantia-90/ https://recodo.io/ https://iiasa.ac.at/blog/sep-2023/reshaping-local-frontiers-of-farming-and-biodiversity https://www.naturemweltasbl.lu/centrale-ornithologique/ https://www.ornitho.lu/ https://www.mnhn.lu/ https://www.gbif.org/ https://inaturalist.lu/ https://www.citynaturechallenge.org/ https://www.list.lu/

Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars outside our solar system. We've been finding potential exoplanets more often since the Kepler and TESS spacecraft were launched. But confirming these planets takes time, and telescope time is limited. To speed up the process, amateur astronomers are using their own telescopes. One program, called UNITE (Unistellar Network Investigating TESS Exoplanets), brings together a global group of volunteer and professional astronomers. They use Unistellar telescopes to gather data when exoplanets pass in front of their stars, blocking some of the light. Scientists from the SETI Institute and Unistellar analyze this data. Recently, they confirmed two exoplanets—a hot Jupiter and a warm sub-Saturn. Dr. Lauren Sgro, UNITE's Exoplanets Lead, talks with communications specialist Beth Johnson about exoplanets, community science, and how science is evolving. (Recorded live 19 September 2024.)

The Solar Eclipse and Citizen Scientists Have you heard of solar eclipses? The moon goes between the sun and the Earth. The moon blocks the sun for a short time. 你聽過日蝕嗎? 當月球運行到太陽跟地球中間，太陽會被月球的陰影遮住一段時間。 During a total solar eclipse, the moon blocks all of the sun. But we can see the sun's corona. It's the fuzzy white circle around the dark moon. 日全蝕是月亮完全遮蔽太陽。但我們還是可以看到日冕，是暗黑的月球周圍一圈白白、模糊的光。 The sun's wind, the solar wind, comes out of the corona. The solar wind is very strong. It affects the Earth! 太陽風從日冕射出，它是個很強的能量會影響地球。 There was a total solar eclipse on April 8th. People saw the eclipse in a line from Mexico to Canada. It was four minutes in each place on the line. 4月8號在橫跨墨西哥到加拿大一條線上的民眾可以看到4分鐘的日全蝕。 Scientists wanted to get pictures of the corona from many places on the line. But how? 科學家想要拿到從不同地方拍攝的日冕照片，怎麼做呢? They got help from citizen scientists. These people aren't scientists. But they get information for scientists. They took many pictures of the corona. 他們從公民科學家得到幫助，這些人不是科學家，但他們會提供資訊給科學家，他們拍了很多日冕的照片。 The scientists made a ninety-minute movie with these pictures. The movie shows them changes in the corona and the solar wind! 科學家用這些照片製作了一部長達90分鐘的電影，可以看到日冕跟太陽風的變化。 Thanks to citizen scientists, scientists are learning more about the sun's corona and the solar wind! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vocabulary 碰到日全蝕這樣的天文奇觀，世界各地的人都可以幫科學家的忙。 1. dark 黑暗的 Hey, did you catch the solar eclipse yesterday? 你有看到昨天的日蝕嗎?

Chicago is one of 18 communities across the country to participate in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's project to train citizen scientists to measure and map the hottest parts of cities, known as urban heat islands. Reset learns how this data will help the city of Chicago reduce the health impacts of extreme heat with Kyra Woods, project manager for the Office of Climate and Environmental Equity, Karen Weigert, director of Loyola University Chicago's Baumhart Center for Social Enterprise and Responsibility and Dulce Garduño, volunteer with Heat Watch program.

Portland area counties are joining together to work on a regional heat map. The data will be collected by volunteers, and public health officials hope that the information can help better prepare the region for hotter summers.  In a typical year in Portland, no heat related deaths are reported. In 2021, after the record-breaking heat dome, at least 69 deaths resulted from extreme heat in the last week of June, according to Multnomah County. Summers in Oregon are heating up, and public health officials say that managing heat islands will be an important part of addressing rising temperatures. Kathleen Johnson is a senior program coordinator at Washington County Public Health. Morgan Zabow is a community heat and health information coordinator for NOAA. And J’reyesha Brannon is a volunteer with Multnomah County who will be collecting data for the heat map research. They join us to share more on the importance of exploring heat in and around Portland and the potential for collaboration among health officials and the general public.

Until recently, lots of people, including scientists, thought fireflies only lived east of the Rockies. The Western Firefly Project is a citizen science initiative that's studying firefly populations across the West, including in Moab. Today we also hear from our partners at KSJD about a land swap settlement in Bears Ears National Monument, a new conservation bill for the Dolores River, and a moratorium on oil and gas leasing within a 10-mile radius of Chaco Canyon National Park. Show Notes: //Photo: Moab is home to a different genus of fireflies than the rest of the state. Scientists are still stumped why.

Amy Dockser Marcus, a distinguished author and Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter with The Wall Street Journal, has dedicated her career to exploring the complex intersections of economics, society, and health within modern medicine.  In her latest meticulously researched book, We The Scientists, she delves into the remarkable accomplishments of "citizen scientists" — ordinary parents and individuals who united to revolutionize the conventional practices employed by established medical researchers and professionals. On its face, says host Dean Rotbart, Amy's book is an inspiring medical chronicle. But the achievements and lessons learned by motivated amateurs offer far-reaching insights and invaluable lessons applicable to diverse industries and fields.  All crises begin with the blurring of a paradigm and the consequent loosening of the rules for normal research … — Thomas S.
