Scientists

The scientists help to shape the campaign, train teachers and will look at the data gathered by students.

Arnold van Vliet (Wageningen University, Netherlands)
I'm specialized in communicating science to society and in the development and coordination of citizen science networks including the main Dutch phenological network Nature's Calendar. I also coordinate the nature news website NatureToday.com.

Karl Schneider (University of Cologne, Germany)
Plants largely control the water fluxes at the land surface through their seasonal development cycle and their physiological reactions. Thus, understanding how phenology works is essential to understand climate change effects on water resources. Measurements, taken with the GrowApp help us to understand local and regional effects upon plant development.

Zorana Sedlar (Natural History Museum, Croatia)
Botanist specialized in plant and vegetation ecology as well as vegetation change. Her floristic and vegetation knowledge together with field experience is adding quality to GLOBE phenology campaign.

Lenka Hájková (Hydrometeorological Institute, Czech Republic)
I'm responsible for the phenological network of wild plants in the Czech Republic. I communicate with voluntary observers, do field measurements, cooperate with experts on pollen, perform data analysis, disseminate results to the public and moreover, I deal with agrometeorology and agroclimatology.

 
Ene Kook (Tartu University, Estonia)
The work of the GLOBE community in developing of the scientific worldview of young people across Europe is important, considerable and amazing. I am pleased to contribute with my knowledge and experience as the specialist of botany of Tartu University and former high school teacher of biology.
