On the first Thursday of each month at 12:00 pm ET, a guest speaker shares how they use AI, geospatial tools, or citizen science in their work over the lunch hour, and then opens the floor for questions and discussion. - Sessions are open to educators, students, researchers, practitioners, and anyone curious about community-collected environmental data. Each one runs on Zoom and is either a short talk from the guest or a Q&A with EMERGE communications lead Caroline Nickerson.
