CITIZEN SCIENCEWhat is citizen science? “Projects or ongoing program of scientific
work in which individual volunteers or networks of volunteers, many of whom may have no specific scientific training, perform or manage research-related tasks such as observation, measurement or computation”
CITIZEN SCIENCE
Benefits: It enables extensive data collection It provides interaction between scientists and the
community the ability for projects to inform both groups
(scientists and individuals). bringing in volunteers would introduce new
questions and thinking Spread awareness of mans impact on the
environment.
IMPORTANT OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM A distributed system is a collection of
independent computers that appear to the users of the system as a single system.
IMPORTANT OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM
Citizen science has a lots of volunteers are needed to analyze their date
distributed system help by Enabling different nodes send their information Enabling the nodes from different area Enabling the nodes with different architecture
To send their data to one processing system to processit
1. DO YOU FEEL IT? It is a Web site produced by the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) The purpose of this site is to gather the information
about earthquakes from people and have a real experience of them
USGS looks for having a full description of what people tested, the effects of the earthquake and the degree of damage, by taking the advantages of large number of the internet users.
1. DO YOU FEEL IT? By providing information about the earthquake, : Citizen scientists could make a significant
contribution to the scientific body of information regarding this earthquake.
They will ensure that their areas have been represented in the shaking map
Citizen scientists will learn more about how other communities have more understanding of the effects of earthquakes.
1. DO YOU FEEL IT?
Project Details:
PRINCIPAL SCIENTIST: David Wald, Supervisory Research Geophysicist SCIENTIST AFFILIATION: USGS National Earthquake
Information Center DATES: Ongoing PROJECT TYPE: Questionnaire COST: Free GRADE LEVEL: All Ages TIME COMMITMENT: Variable HOW TO JOIN: Visit the USGS Did You Feel It? Web site.
2. WORLD WATER MONITORING DAY International education and outreach
program that builds public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources around the world
Done by the citizens
2. WORLD WATER MONITORING DAY provides basic information about streams,
lakes and coastal waters to provide a better understanding of whether they are safe enough to swim in, fish from, or use for drinking or irrigation purposes.
2. WORLD WATER MONITORING DAY The monitoring period occurs any day/time
between March 22 (World Water Day) and December 31
All data must be entered by December 31 to be included in the year's annual report
2. WORLD WATER MONITORING DAY There is no fee to participate in the program
To get your test kit you can take from LaMotte Company, Sword Scientific, and Ansam and they accept MasterCard, VISA, and American Express
In 2011, approximately 340,000 people in 77 countries monitored their local waterway
2. WORLD WATER MONITORING DAY participants are encouraged to write stories
and publishing photos highlighting their events on the WWMC Web site and on their own Web sites and publications.
Their plan is the Involvement leads to information more involvement which leads to meeting the goal of one million people monitoring by 2014!
2. WORLD WATER MONITORING DAY
Let test the quality of our waterways, share what you find , and protect our most precious resource

3. SCHOOL OF ANT
citizen-scientist project aim to study the ants live in urban areas
Participation is open to anyone interested Dr. Andrea Lucky heads the School of Ants
project Their Email [email protected]
The Aim: create map to introduced ants in
cities, not just here in North Carolina, but across the United States and, as this project grows, the world
The map arranged each type and where is live
3. SCHOOL OF ANT
PARTICIPATE STEP
sampling ants

PARTICIPATE STEP:
1. recording data
2. http://schoolofants.org/participate
3. Submitting your sample: Confirmation Code
3. SCHOOL OF ANT
EXPERIMENT
•Katherine found a living rare kind of ant
•This discovery made Katherine one of the first people ever to see this rare species of ant alive under the microscope!
•As a result, Katherine Driscoll was still a high school student when she started working in the Dunn Lab
3. SCHOOL OF ANT
Let see What will you find living in your backyard?

CONCLUSION A distributed system is important to the
Citizen science
CONCLUSION
Citizen science is great project It shortcut the time for the expert Allow the data to analyze by professional ,
this helpful for the poor countries Let Make the world better for us and the next
generations
