Current Projects: Eclipse Soundscapes: Citizen Science Project
The Eclipse Soundscapes: Citizen Science Project (ES:CSP) is a NASA Science Activation funded project that is studying how eclipses affect life on Earth. Some evidence shows that animals and insects react to solar eclipses. ES:CSP is collecting observations and sound data from the October 14, 2023 annular eclipse and the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse and analyzing that data in 2024 and 2025.
Citizen scientists are volunteers who work with scientists to help collect and analyze scientific data. The Eclipse Soundscapes: Citizen Science Project is studying how eclipses affect life on Earth. Eclipse Soundscapes citizen scientists will help collect and analyze observations and sound data from the October 14, 2023 annular eclipse and the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse. The observations and sound data collected will help us understand the impact of 2023, and 2024 solar eclipses on various U.S. ecosystems.
