Presentation Transcript

  1. Lichens, Bryophytes and Climate Change

  2. Outline • Research Question • Goals and Scope • Digitization Workflow • Geo-referencing • Dissemination • Outreach and Crowd Sourcing

  3. Research Question • How are changes in distribution patterns of lichens and bryophytes over time correlated with man-made environmental changes? • How accurately can we predict where specific species can be found using existing herbarium data?

  4. Goals and Scope • Collections • 16 digitization centers (collaborators) • > 60 non-governmental US herbaria (95%) • ~ 2.3 million specimen (90%) • 900,000 lichens • 1.4 million bryophytes • Mobilizing existing • digital records

  5. Goals and Scope • Geographic Scope • Mexico • US • Canada

  6. Digitization Approaches

  7. Digitization Approach • Rapidly photographing labels, barcoding • Uploading with minimal metadata • Institution, species, barcode • OCR • 75 % (species, collector, collection number, date) • NLP • Geo-Referencing (Geolocate) • Web editing/entering in SYMBIOTA • Duplicates, Exsiccati • Quality Control Check

  8. Digitization Approaches • Problems • Storage variation • Location of important information • Hand written information

  9. Project Information http://lbcc.limnology.wisc.edu/

  10. Dissemination • National Portals • http://symbiota.org/nalichens/ • http://symbiota.org/bryophytes/ • Search • Distribution Mapping • Other SYMBIOTA functionality

  11. Dissemination • Other networks • GBIF • EOL • Home Institutions

  12. Outreach and Crowd Sourcing • Extensive volunteer program • Local workshops, field courses, seminars, training • Online training, Q/A, seminars, presentations

  13. Outreach and Crowd Sourcing • Online data editing and entering • Sophisticated user and workflow management system in SYMBIOTA • Volunteer data entry • Volunteer data editing • Professional quality control
