Greg Newman (12524)

I am a research scientist, ecologist, and informatics specialist at the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory (NREL) at Colorado State University (CSU). I am director and founder of CitSci.org - an online citizen science platform. My current research focuses on designing and evaluating the effectiveness of cyber-infrastructure support systems for citizen science programs. My research interests include evaluating various citizen science program models, understanding the socio-ecological benefits of engaging the public in scientific research, designing and evaluating data management systems for socio-ecological research, assessing the value of local and traditional ecological knowledge for conservation and education outcomes, and developing spatial-temporal decision support systems.
