Assessing the Risk of Invasive Species Using Community Science Data

This module introduces students who are already familiar with GIS to doing comparative analyses with large-scale community science (often called citizen science) data sets. Students will explore how we can use community science data to examine the spread and distribution of invasive species in different geographic locations. In the final step, students will identify different invasive species and determine if community science data accurately maps the threat these species pose.

本模块旨在引导已对地理信息系统（GIS）有所了解的学生，运用大规模社区科学数据集（常被称为公民科学数据集）进行对比分析。学生将通过探究如何利用社区科学数据来检验入侵物种在不同地理区域的传播与分布情况。在最终环节，学生将识别不同类型的入侵物种，并判定社区科学数据是否精确地映射了这些物种所构成的威胁。
