HARNESSING MOBILE TECHNOLOGY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LEARNING AND CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT
The Mobile Mountains Watershed Initiative seeks to increase public engagement with the scientific process through real life experiences that connect citizens with current questions facing the San Juan Mountains. Specifically in two focal areas: 1) Watershed education and water quality sampling with 5th-10th graders, and 2) Historical alpine repeat photography.
Mobile Mountains taps the smartphone revolution by equipping anyone from the average day tripper to the backcountry enthusiast with the handheld tools in order to turn them into mobile citizen scientists.
