Stancioff, Signs of Seasons cited in Press Herald article on observing climate changes
Esperanza Stancioff, a University of Maine Cooperative Extension and Maine Sea Grant climate change educator, was mentioned in a Portland Press Herald column about data collected by naturalists and citizen scientists who witness climate changes. Stancioff said she sees a strong resurgence of citizen scientists involved in organized efforts, such as the program she helps coordinate, the University of Maine’s Signs of the Seasons program. People attentive to changes in nature, Stancioff finds, often like recording observations they know will be useful to scientists and policymakers, the article states.
