Hi All,

Here is a resource that might be useful if you are contemplating how to fold phenology observing and/or data analysis into your teaching. This chapter is a compilation of many approaches of various scales and utilizing different platforms. Thanks to all of the co-authors that shared their experiences here!

This chapter is excerpted from M.D. Schwartz (ed.), Phenology: An Integrative Environmental Science, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-75027-4_27

Thanks Theresa, your "Higher Ed" chapter is insightful, enjoyed learning about the "phenocam project," that's a fantastic network and way to monitor pheno phases at the local, regional and national levels.

Thank you for posting Chapter 27.  This information was very helpful to me.  May I share the .pdf file with the Science, Biology, and Environmental Studies professors I am working with to reinstate their University's Local Phenology Program?  Their program became inactive when their LPL retired and left the University.
