Tracking a Changing Climate: Citizen Science Contributions to the National Climate Assessment

The vision for the U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA) includes creating a set of of indicators - measures of key physical, ecological, and societal variables and values - that would inform and support decision-making about climate changes, impacts, vulnerabilities, and responses.  This roundtable will explore ways in which crowd-based approaches, such as citizen science and community-based monitoring, are and can be used to support indicators or indicator systems of climate change, impacts and response. 

Keynotes:

Dr. Virginia Burkett, Acting Associate Director, Climate and Land Use Change, US Geological Survey

Dr. Richard Spinrad, Chief Scientist, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
