This is a handout from our webinar, "Community Climate Data Tracking in Prince Edward Island". Climate Trackers is a citizen-science initiative that collects local climate data from the community to better understand the impacts of climate change in Prince Edward Island. The initiative involves registering as a Climate Tracker, receiving a Climate Diary and Nature Guide, and using an online web application to track observations. The data collected will inform local climate science and municipal government climate change adaptation projects. The initiative is a collaborative effort between the UPEI School of Climate Change and Adaptation and the community.
Changes in plant and animal behaviour, arrival of invasive species, a shift in planting or harvesting dates for agriculture, increasing temperatures, and more frequent and intense weather events are all indicators of climate change. Join Dr. Xander Wang from UPEI and Katie Sonier from the Town of Stratford to learn about the Climate Diary App and Climate Trackers initiative!
