Science and Society: Community Science and Citizen Science
Science and Society: Community Science and Citizen Science
Session ID#: 279539
Session Description:
This session explores the intersection of Community Science, Citizen Science, and other co-developed or co-produced efforts that bridge research, practice, and community. In Community Science, communities and scientists collaborate to address shared priorities, fostering mutual learning and achieving recognizable outcomes of benefit to the communities. Citizen Science engages the public in research and monitoring on local to global scales. Co-development or co-production efforts, such as AGU's Thriving Earth Exchange, are "bottom-up" approaches to ensure science is developed and conducted with all relevant stakeholders involved, emphasizing the collaborative nature of science, where diverse voices across disciplines, sectors, and lived experiences, are equitably integrated into the scientific process. We welcome contributions that demonstrate the value of Community and Citizen Science, showcasing effective co-production, innovative methods, educational activities, and research linking these practices to policy, management, and participant outcomes. This session is a platform for dialogue on their transformative potential in the geosciences.
