Get Involved Now! Community Science

Community science (also known as citizen science) mobilizes local communities to collect data and answer scientific questions. Our community science projects invite local residents to explore the issues that most concern them by posing and answering key research questions, collecting data, and analyzing and communicating the results. We are working with residents, classrooms, and community groups to investigate how climate change is affecting Boston and what kinds of strategies we can use to adapt to these changes.

Coming Soon! K-12 Programs

The Lab’s K-12 education programs will use Boston Harbor and the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park as a classroom with the goal of providing place-based learning experiences for students. These opportunities are currently in development.
