Mobile apps turn Arctic community observations into climate data
Original: How mobile apps are turning Arctic community observations into climate data
Arctic residents are using mobile apps to record local observations such as ice conditions, weather and wildlife, which researchers convert into usable climate data. The approach combines Indigenous and local knowledge with digital tools, helping scientists fill gaps in a vast, sparsely monitored region where instrumental coverage is thin and change is happening fast.
Why now: Growing interest in citizen science and community-based monitoring as Arctic warming accelerates and official data remains sparse.
