Findout how you can participate!

We'llalso try to leave some time for any questions folks might have.

 

TheEclipse Soundscapes Project is a NASA-funded participatory science project thatis exploring how solar eclipses impact life on Earth. Eclipses are usuallythought of as a visual phenomenon, but some evidence suggests that theenvironmental changes brought on by an eclipse may result in changes in sound,temperature, and more. Therefore, eclipses can be experienced in a multisensorymanner! 

We are seeking participants to join us as Data Collectors and Observers forthe April 8, 2024 total eclipse, which will happen over mostof Arkansas.

DataCollectors use an AudioMoth device to record potential changes in sound databefore, during, and after the eclipse.

Observersuse all of the senses available to them to take written notes about observationsabout what they heard, felt, or saw during the eclipse. 

EclipseSoundscapes was created with accessibility in mind and a special focus on theinclusion of people who are blind or low vision. If you are interested inastronomy, ecology, or other STEM topics, we'd love for you to join us!

 

Thedeadline to apply to be a part of this project is January 31, 2024. 

Letme know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

CindyScott-Huisman
