The Participatory Geoweb
In the Participatory Geoweb project, funded by GEOIDE, we will employ the Geoweb in order to stimulate, mediate, facilitate, and advocate public understanding, engagement, and action towards a sustainable development of the nature-society system. The project team seeks to examine what defines effective participation through the Geoweb, contextualize observations and opinions on environmental change, and develop a technical and policy infrastructure to support climate change response and adaptation.
Examples of the Geoweb include Google Earth, Google Maps, MapQuest, and other online interactive maps.
