Fridays for Future sees itself as a horizontal, grassroots movement that acts impartially and refers to science for the facts. To engage the global population more, this app was developed using SPOTTERON. The aim is to find out how the climate crisis is perceived by the population and which positive and negative emotions are associated with certain topics related to the biodiversity and climate crisis.

The users should learn more about the climate crisis and at the same time be able to make a small contribution to climate protection. With the app, Fridays for Future wants to bring people closer to the climate crisis in everyday life in order to emphasize certain factors more consciously. At the same time, the app is intended to integrate everyone with the help of the Citizen Science project (SPOTTERON) by allowing the user to document what he/she notices about the climate crisis in the most accessible way possible. It is important that not only the negative aspects are noted, but that positive events also flow into the project. With this app you can upload material on the topics of "nature", "green energy", "public transport" and "other positive influences", among other things. The negative aspects are addressed with the topics of "construction", "road traffic", "environmental destruction" and "other negative influences". Then, on a scale of 1 to 5, the extent to which this has an impact on the climate crisis should be assessed.

This data is used anonymously by a wide variety of scientists to better understand the climate crisis and the associated changes. The users should learn more about the climate crisis and at the same time be able to make a small contribution to climate protection.

With HydroCrowd, Citizen Scientists can make a real impact by monitoring rainfall and other hydro-climatic data in Ecuador, Honduras, and Tanzania. No need to be a weather expert—just grab the app and get ready to dive into the world of water!

Are you concerned about the environment? Do you want to help preserve the natural heritage of Australia for generations to come? Then get involved with the ClimateWatch App - the first continental phenology project in the Southern Hemisphere - and be part of an active community making a real difference to the future of our planet.

CoastSnap is a global citizen science project to capture our changing coastlines. No matter where you are in the world, if you have a smartphone and an interest in the coast, we welcome you to participate! CoastSnap relies on repeat photos at the same location to track how the coast is changing over time due to processes such as storms, rising sea levels, human activities and other factors.

Snap a photo of a coast near you in the app!

Using a specialised technique known as photogrammetry, CoastSnap turns your photos into valuable coastal data that is used by coastal scientists to understand and forecast how coastlines might change in the coming decades. Photogrammetry enables the position of the coastline to be pinpointed from your snaps to an accuracy similar to that of professional coastal survey teams. All we ask is that you take the photos at the same location (by using one of our official CoastSnap camera cradles or a do-it-yourself adaptation) and record the precise photo time in the App. The more photos we have of a particular site, the better our understanding becomes of how that coastline is changing over time.

Coastal areas are in constant evolution, climate change will impact where and how humans live. In times of the imminent climate crisis, the coastline will change dramatically, and extreme weather phenomena are already starting to be part of our daily life.

Citizens monitoring weather and water

The Coastal Observer Citizen Science project explores these effects and their impact on the environment and our mood. The Coastal Observer App encourages citizens to become active in monitoring weather and water locally, and will help researchers build a pathway for a sustainable future. By contributing observations about floods, tides storms and water quality, you can help the University of Delaware, US, with their research.

 "Naturkalender" (Nature's Calendar) is the Austrian phenology app for interested Citizen Scientists who want to support phenology and climate protection by observing their surroundings. The focus lies in the development of certain so-called phenological indicator plants. Through community science observations of plants that start to bloom, bear fruit, or shed their leaves, or animal activities, they support the data collection of the Austrian Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) and the European Phenology Database.

Better understaning of climate change and what to do about it

These observations have been recorded at the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) since 1851. Since then, voluntary so-called Citizen Scientists have been supporting them all over Austria by observing nature for us. With the Nature's Calender Citizen Science app, phenology has finally arrived in the 21st century. Here you can easily record your own nature observations on the map with your smartphone all year long, be active in the nature calendar community and, at the same time, learn a lot about nature. Due to the easy handling of the app, people from all age groups can be found in the community, and a lively exchange of interesting information takes place. And best of all: with your entries, you can help scientist to better understand climate change and find solutions for the challanges it brings.
