Those known as “citizen scientists” They are volunteers, professional sciences or people with no prior knowledge, who collaborate on real research projects.. These have helped make thousands of important scientific discoveries.
NASA citizen science projects Open to everyone worldwide, and not limited to US citizens or residents…If you want to work in real science for NASA, you can choose the project you like most from the list in this report.
Global observer
Citizen science application “Watcher of the World” Volunteers are allowed Get different types of data using your mobile phones and join the global learning and feedback community for the good of the environment (Earth). The data is used in multiple projects for Track changes in the environment To support scientific research in the field of the Earth system.
Anyone with a cell phone or laptop can participate in the GLOBE Observer project.
The resulting open dataset is available to scientists and used by students of all ages conducting a variety of research projects across the world Globe program.
Landslide Reporter
Landslides affect almost every country, killing people and destroying billions of dollars’ worth of property every year. Web application Landslide Reporter It allows you to help improve scientific modeling and emergency response to mitigate these disasters.
To be a citizen scientist in this project, you must take important preventative measures such as: Make sure you are a safe distance from any landslide foundEven if the landslide appears to be over, there is still a chance that unstable rocks or debris may fall.
Through this application, Volunteers contribute observations and reports to the world’s largest open catalog of landslidesthe Collaborative Open Online Repository for Landslides (COOLR), which is used by researchers around the world.
Mapping penguin populations and expected dynamics
I don’t want to It is a mapping application for penguin populations and their expected dynamics, a tool Open access decision support platform created by Oceanites, an NGO Dedicated to counting penguins in Antarctica.
Anyone with a laptop can do a penguin population mapping project.
It links directly to the Antarctic Penguin Biodiversity Project database Allows Antarctica enthusiasts and interested parties to explore and download penguin census records The latest publicly available data for the entire White Continent.
Nemo Net
It’s about a iPad game For one player in it Players help NASA classify coral reefs by drawing 3D and 2D pictures of coral reefs. Players can rank other players’ rankings and move up the food chain as they explore and rank coral reefs and other environments and shallow sea creatures from locations around the world.
Lake Notes
this project Collecting Direct observations of lake elevation made by volunteers using satellite maps. These are measurements of the height and surface of the lakes Reveal how their water volumes changeAn essential step in answering questions such as: How does water enter and exit lakes and the surrounding land? Does precipitation, groundwater level, or evaporation affect the water level the most? How can we best protect fresh lake waters for future generations?
Mountain rain or snow
“Mountain rain or snow“Its citizens are required to be scholars Report rain and snow near them to support better weather forecasting and water resources.
Did you know that most weather stations cannot tell whether it is raining or snowing? There is still no better way to view what falls from the sky than with the human eye!
the Reports on the type of precipitation sent Via the project’s smartphone navigation tool It will help scientists understand where current technology fails.
Clouds on Mars
Clouds are drivers and products of the planet’s climate. How does this work on Mars?? NASA invites you to join them as they discover the secrets of the Red Planet’s atmospherewhich is completely different from Earth.
Anyone with a mobile phone or laptop can do this project. All you have to do is do a very short training of about 15 minutes online, and you’re done. You’ll learn to recognize the clear pattern of clouds in graphical data collected by the Mars Climate Sounder on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Tess the planet of hunters
the Exoplanets They are planets outside our solar system Stars orbit outside the sunAnd if you join as a citizen scientist You may discover the following!
Join the project Tess the planet of huntersVolunteers toThey will learn to read light curves (distant starlight data charts) for Find telltale signs of exoplanets in orbit.
Each citizen scientist will then examine data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission to begin their own search. Planet Hunters TESS is available in English, French and Spanish.
Are we alone in being?
This project uses the largest fully steerable radio telescope on Earth Search for evidence of civilizations in the galaxy. They will be able to help identify promising signals in the data. For this one project You only need 2 to 4 minutes to complete the online form, and a device connected to the Internet
They will learn Identify common types of radio frequency interference (RFI) to filter out the noise and find signals that could indicate extraterrestrial intelligence. These ratings will also be used Developing artificial intelligence tools to accelerate research.
Planet 9
some Astronomers think there may be a large planet on the outskirts of our solar system, a world they call Planet Nine.. That’s why NASA suggests Join the search for new planets and planet-like objects called “brown dwarfs” near the Sun.
More than 40 volunteers have become co-authors of scientific articles published through this project
Citizen scientists You will study the sky photos you have taken Mission wise From NASA and search for moving objects. They will report their findings in a simple way, while keeping in touch with other scientists and volunteers. This is a long term project He discovered more than 3,800 new brown dwarfs and published dozens of scientific articles.
