Citizen scientists needed to document climate change
MOUNT DESERT ISLAND Six island nonprofits have come together to document the impacts of climate change on bird, pollinator, air and sea water temperatures. In a new project called Landscape of Change, the partners are comparing historic observations and data with modern findings to document change over time with a goal of better understanding how the island is changing.
The Mount Desert Island Historical Society cares for an important collection of historic natural history observations taken on the island by a group of students from Harvard, known as the Champlain Society. These students spent a decade in the 1880s exploring island ecosystems and documenting their findings. The historical society was curious if these records could be used as a baseline from which to measure changes seen today that could be linked to climate change.
