[Taxacom] Need help collecting data?

[Gregg Treinish]

We know how challenging it can be to collect data.  We are here to help!

Adventurers and Scientists is dedicated to improving the availability
of scientific information through partnerships between adventure
athletes and scientists.

As you well know, there is currently a great void that exists in our
understanding of human impacts on the planet.  Unfortunately, the
collection of data that could potentially shed light on these impacts
can be expensive, time consuming, and physically challenging.

To organize a research project in remote areas demands not only the
scientific knowhow, but also the wilderness skills that can take a
lifetime to acquire.  In addition, securing funding from limited
sources can be difficult without datasets already in place or at least
the method of acquiring the data in place.

Adventure athletes constantly travel to areas of great need.  These
ambassadors of the outdoors often want to do more for the areas they
travel in but simply have not acquired the skills to do so.

The time is now harness the unique abilities of people who are already
going to difficult to reach areas.  ASC provides the world with the
opportunity to learn about these areas on an unprecedented scale.

We have access to thousands of the world’s premiere hikers, bikers,
skiers, mountaineers, and more who everyday are visiting the remote
corners of the globe.

If you or any of your colleagues are interested in working with our
army of citizen-scientists please contact us and tell us what you
need.  Blossom time surveys, species identification, or anything else
are possibilities.  We will give you the opportunity to develop
protocols with your adventurer before they leave and ensure that the
quality of the data will stand up to peer review.

We look forward to hearing about your needs around the globe, and hope
that we can help get you the information you need!
