Floating Forests

Want to take part in the largest citizen science kelp forest finding project on the web? Come on over to our Kelp Zoo!

[Floating Forests @FloatingForests]

This is such an awesome competition using our data! We have ~130 entrants so far, we're up to a dice score of 0.7 out of 1 - really hope some of y'all out there in the #MachineLearning space interested in #kelp want to hop on this! Should be fun!

Kelp, we need somebody! 🌿Dive into our new #datachallenge sponsored by @MathWorks - "Kelp Wanted: Segmenting Kelp Forests"! 🤿
Help scientists map and monitor these vital ecosystems using #Landsat imagery.

Come today to hear @isrosenthal defend his PhD in #kelp, #citizenscience/#communityscience, #STEMeducation , & #urbanization today using
our platform! Isaac has been the @NASAEarth funded grad student on the project. If you're interested, zoom info in the flier! @the_zooniverse

So, as many of you know, Floating Forests is an outgrowth of work at the @LterSbc - and now we are delighted that the Georgia Coastal @USLTER has their own zooniverse project running #Marsh Explorer! Check it out! https://t.co/V7AxnAOtCT #MarshLife #LTER

We at Floating Forests are so excited for #BlackinMarineScienceWeek - go follow their content and amazing hashtags now, and definitely give @BlackinMarSci a follow!

The first panel was recorded and will be posted to our YouTube later! Be sure to register for the second panel https://t.co/V3sJgST7nk

Note - our dev @HeyChelseaTroy has filed custserv reqs for some time, but no response on this!

Question for @USGSLandsat - with @the_zooniverse we are demoing our Landsat -> citizen science pipeline at AGU, but v 1.3 of the ESPA API says it can’t find data from a call that previously worked & v 1.5 of the API sends an inaccurate error message. Help! @NASA_Landsat

This is so cool. You can clearly see the growth of Floating Forests through time since our relaunch. But you can also see the big uptick we've been getting since Covid. Rock on you #citizenscience folk who are taking this time to hang out with some remote sensing #kelp imagery!

Today from from 1-3 p.m. EST (10 am to noon. PST, 20:00-22:00 UTC) our own @jebyrnes will be on @reddit_AMA at https://t.co/uPqrHlZX2S as part of the @DoNASAScience team to talk #citizenscience and #kelp! (He might even stream some classifying on twitch....standby....)

[D Smale @DanSmale1]

Fantastic to see this paper on the Future of Blue Carbon science published in @NatureComms - a very enjoyable collaborative experience and important road map for understanding natural carbon storage in marine/coastal systems. 👍🌱🦀💻☀️🌊🌎🤛

One of the best examples of a #statsmeme I've ever seen.

[Anna J. Egalite @annaegalite]

In my intro stats class today, I told students the median is a ”resistant” measure of a distribution’s center & is often preferred to the mean in the case of salary data, etc. I jokingly referenced this meme and in the 15 mins’ break they had, a student created this MASTERPIECE!

[Floating Forests @FloatingForests]

And please RT or forward around to folk you know who might be interested!

[Floating Forests @FloatingForests]

Do you work with #Landsat data and want to use it to create an online citizen science project? Please tweet back or contact @jebyrnes directly! We're looking for scientists who want to leverage the power of #citizenscience to try out our new interface! @USGSLandsat @NASA_Landsat

[Floating Forests @FloatingForests]

Oh, we'll put this up on Talk - respond there, too! https://t.co/8aADc2JY48

[Floating Forests @FloatingForests]

Curious, how many of you Floating Forests citizen scientists are also #SCUBA divers? #citizenscience
