Looking for a new project?  Fall is a great time to join a citizen science program, where you can share your own observations about nature with scientists.  Citizen science volunteers can collect far more data than science researchers can alone, playing an important role in scientific discovery!

Viewer Tip:  Make discoveries where you live.  Here are just a few projects you can participate in as a citizen scientist:

  • Monitor Weather:  Every drop counts!  Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) volunteers learn how to measure precipitation using a rain gauge and hail pad, record their data and report their measurements online.  Data collected by volunteers complements observations made by the National Weather Service and is used by local meteorologists, researchers, emergency managers, farmers, outdoor enthusiasts, teachers and others.  Sign up to become a volunteer observer with CoCoRaHS at www.cocorahs.org.
