CEDAR email: Call for AGU Abstracts: SA011 – Enabling Advances in Space Science through Citizen Science Investigations

[Vines, Sarah K.]

Please join us at the 2026 AGU Annual Meeting by submitting an abstract to our session,
SA011: Enabling Advances in Space Science through Citizen Science Investigations
https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu26/prelim.cgi/Session/281425

With the push for expanding citizen science-based projects and recent science results, such as those related to the Heliophysics Big Year (HBY), citizen science is becoming an enabling mechanism for scientific investigations. These investigations also incorporate an increasingly diverse array of datasets and methodology, including crowd-sourced spatially distributed datasets, different kinds of visual classifications of auroral, solar, and lunar terrain images, feature identification in particle spectra, and auditory classifications of wave power spectral densities. This session focuses on the scientific motivation and outcomes of citizen science projects in the space sciences, highlighting studies that have been actively developing and using citizen science-derived datasets across heliophysics and planetary science. Along with results from citizen science investigations, presentations describing challenges and lessons learned (i.e., working with different platforms, interfacing with volunteers, tailoring tasks for accessibility while still retaining scientific usability, etc.) are welcome.

Hope to see you there!
- SA011 Conveners: Sarah Vines, Bea Gallardo-Lacourt, Vicki Toy-Edens, Wenli Mo, Kristina Collins
