“Citizen science” is a form of scientific engagement that empowers individuals to actively contribute to scientific projects. Citizen science has been employed in a wide range of areas of study, including ones pertinent to Cherokee Marsh, such as ecology, biology, limnology, and meteorology. There is an opportunity for you to get involved in weather measurements on your own property, as part of a larger citizen science effort.
