Citizen science

What is citizen science?

Citizen science includes any activity that involves the public in scientific research, and thus has the potential to bring together science, policy makers, and society in an impactful way. Through citizen science, all people can participate in many stages of the scientific process, from the design of the research question, to data collection, and to publication and dissemination of results. Citizen science is also an approach of scientific work that may be used as a part of a broader scientific activity.

Our projects

The world of plankton

Understand how the ocean breaths and how important its heartbeats are in our live

With this project we want to help global science to understand how climante change is affecting phytplankton, those tiny organisms that constitute the base of the marine food chain. With your participation you will help us to collect essential data in Galician waters by taking part in a global citizen science project lead by Dr. Richard R. Kirby, who seeks to study ocean productivity changes due to climate change.

Climate change: red code for humanity

What is our role to avoid climate disaster?

For several decades, the scientific community has been warning about global warming caused by burning fossil fuels. This will have important consequences at climatic level, such as: increase in extreme events, more frequent heat waves and droughts, or reduction of oxygen in the ocean.

In this scenario, we would like you to help us know what is your perception about this problem, and how it should be faced.
