ED35: Mobile Apps for Environmental Monitoring and Education
*Description: Approximately four billion people own cell phones with 
steady trends towards smart phones and multiple mobile devices. This 
trend combined with advances in mobile technologies provides a unique 
opportunity to connect with millions. And since several challenges 
facing society require short term responses from large numbers of 
people, mobile applications are essential tools for education, 
environmental stewardship and public safety. From citizen science 
projects to classroom instruction to community preparedness, the 
opportunities are endless and the potential exponential. Presenters and 
attendees alike are invited to bring their mobile devices and share 
details about apps under development and projects that utilize mobile 
devices.
