Citizen Science [kit] by Arizona State University.The School for the Future of Innovation in Society.;
With this kit and the GLOBE Observer app, you can help spot and report potential mosquito breeding habitats (standing water or somewhere water could collect) and the presence of dangerous mosquito larvae. Optionally, you can sample and count the larvae and try to identify the mosquito type. Mosquitoes are the world's most dangerous animal: millions of people die each year from mosquito-borne diseases. You can make a difference by helping with early warning of potential disease outbreaks. While climate and weather conditions can suggest to scientists where to expect spikes in mosquito populations during the year, we don't know for sure what is happening unless we make observations on the ground. By reporting possible mosquito habitats through the app, GLOBE Observers are able to share observations and local environmental conditions to enhance satellite-based research with local ground-based data.
