Currently, we have several Environmental Participatory Sensing projects:
What's Invasive! - A mobile phone-based citizen science campaign to find invasive plants and animals.
- See a short slide show on how we integrate mobile phones and the web for citizen science, using What's Invasive!
- Our Android phone client application v2.0 is now avialable! Search on the Android Market for "invasive" or go to http://whatsinvasive.com on your mobile phone web browser (you will be re-directed to a download page).
- Our iPhone client application v1.0 is now avialable! Search on the App Store for "invasive".
Project BudBurst Mobile - A mobile version of the national citizen science campaign to observe plant responses to climate.
- A collaboration between CENS and Project BudBurst has created a framework to use cell phones to upload photos, observations, and comments.
- Our Android phone client application is now available! Search the Android Market for "BudBurst"
- The BudBurst Mobile client is currently being used to Map the trees on the UCLA campus.
- This app will also allow you to participate in our FloraCaching.org projects.
FloraCaching.org - FloraCaching is the above-ground version of the poplular geocaching activity.
- FloraCaching involves:
- Downloading the Android phone client application BudBurst Mobile. Search the Android Market for "BudBurst"
- Using your mobile phone, find "hidden" plants to gain points and add new information about their lifecycle.
- Participation is easiest with the Project BudBurst Mobile application for Android phones.
- A UCLA campus activity will be our first FloraCaching campaign to help UCLA facilities keep tabs on all the plants on campus. Stay tuned for more information!
EcoMob - A million eyes on climate, a million voices on Twitter.
- Twitter feeds that include phrases about climate, including "spring is here", and "leafing out".
- We will soon start listening in on other crowd-sources of information.
- Web page coming soon!
