Когда зовет Саффолк, люди слушают: гражданская наука | Ханна Стевентон | TEDxUniversity of Suffolk

Проекты гражданской науки в графстве Саффолк объединяют сотни местных жителей для изучения и защиты окружающей среды. Эколог Ханна Стивентон из Университета Саффолка рассказывает, как волонтёры собирают данные об изменениях ландшафтов и качестве воды в реках, используя биоакустику и микробиологию. В выступлении представлены два примера: прослушивание летучих мышей и создание детекторов, а также микробиологический мониторинг рек. Общие знания дают жителям возможность действовать.

• Гражданская наука с участием волонтёров в Саффолке
• Биоакустика: прослушивание летучих мышей и создание детекторов
• Микробиологический мониторинг рек Саффолка

Celebrating the work of hundreds of Suffolk people and our collaborative impact to build a better Suffolk with science, action and love. • our environment can be better understood and is changing • communities mobilise armies of volunteers to investigate, measure and take action • informed by university expertise • two case studies: - bioacoustics in Suffolk: listening to bats, building bat detectors - microbiology in Suffolk rivers • knowledge empowers Suffolk people • action impacts our environment and community. Dr Hannah Steventon is an environmental scientist at the University of Suffolk whose work sits at the intersection of environment, technology and community action. Her research explores what becomes possible when local people gather the evidence needed to protect the places they care about. Through citizen science projects across Suffolk, she collaborates with communities and partners to investigate environmental challenges, from listening to landscapes through bioacoustics to monitoring river water quality using microbiology and sensor technologies. Hannah began her career as a hydrogeologist, specialising in contaminated land and groundwater pollution, before moving into digital sensing, data analysis and environmental innovation. She is also a passionate educator, teaching hydrogeology, pollution, coding, electronics and data science. Hannah is a Chartered Geologist with degrees from Cambridge, UCL and Suffolk. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
