Abstract
Adopt a Pixel 3 km: A Multiscale Data Set Linking Remotely Sensed Land Cover Imagery With Field Based Citizen Science Observation
Highlights
Public participation is critical to the mission of Earth system science
Citizen scientists are encouraged to make coincident observations using more than one GLOBE Observer1 (GO) tool, for instance, using the Land Cover and the Mosquito Habitat Mapper tools at the same site
This project contributes to the ecosystem of citizen science initiatives documenting land cover, land use, and landscape change through photo data collection and/or analysis of remotely sensed aerial or space imagery
Summary
Public participation is critical to the mission of Earth system science. Citizen science provides a personally meaningful way for the public to engage with the dynamic changes taking place on our planet, and to participate in scientific data collection and analysis at scales that are not otherwise feasible. In-situ validation of land-use and landcover (LULC) products plays an important role in improving the accuracy of models employing remotely sensed data and map products for practical management purposes (Eriksen et al, 2018) This project contributes to the ecosystem of citizen science initiatives documenting land cover, land use, and landscape change through photo data collection and/or analysis of remotely sensed aerial or space imagery. The ecosystem includes such projects as Geo-Wiki (Fritz et al, 2009), VIEW-IT (Clark and Aide, 2011), FieldScope (Switzer et al, 2012), LACOWiki (See et al, 2015), Field Photo Library (Xiao et al, 2011), and the Degree Confluence Project (Qian et al, 2020). Data quality assurance parameters for the GLOBE Observer tools used in this project are presented in Amos et al (2020)
