Information about the handling of your personal data at University of Helsinki: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/projects/lifeplan/signup
At the end of the form, there is an option to save your incomplete form and return to it later. You will be sent a link (to the email you provide) that you can use to continue filling the form when you are ready.
Contact person / team coordinator. Fill in here the information of the person who will take the main responsibility of organizing the sampling team, and to whom we should be in contact when discussing in more detail the feasibility of including the site in LIFEPLAN.
Information of the person who will be responsible for spore sampling, if not the same as the team coordinator. The same person can be responsible for multiple sampling methods (and be the team coordinator).
Information of the person who will be responsible for soil sampling, if not the same as the team coordinator. The same person can be responsible for multiple sampling methods (and be the team coordinator).
Information of the person who will be responsible for Malaise trap sampling, if not the same as the team coordinator. The same person can be responsible for multiple sampling methods (and be the team coordinator).
Information of the person who will be responsible for audio recording, if not the same as the team coordinator. The same person can be responsible for multiple sampling methods (and be the team coordinator).
We aim to identify vocal animals (mainly birds, but potentially also e.g. frogs and bats) from the sound recordings using machine learning methods (see e.g. Ovaskainen et al. 2018). To generate the training data needed to parameterize the species identification algorithms, we will utilize citizen science: we will develop an online platform through which volunteers will be asked to identify species present in selected audio samples. Thus, we ask you to state whether you might be prepared to contribute the expertise and time needed for generating these training data? If yes, then how much of your time (e.g. one week per year) do you expect to be able to commit to these activities?
Information of the person who will be responsible for camera trapping, if not the same as the team coordinator. The same person can be responsible for multiple sampling methods (and be the team coordinator).
We aim to identify mammals from the images using machine learning methods. To generate the training data needed to parameterize the species identification algorithms, we will utilize citizen science: we will develop an online platform through which volunteers will be asked to identify species present in selected images. Thus, we ask you to state whether you might be prepared to contribute the expertise and time needed for generating these training data? If yes, then how much of your time (e.g. one week per year) do you expect to be able to commit to these activities?
We will employ a full-time lawyer to facilitate this process, but will need your help.
NOTE that the global sampling design is built on sampling site-pairs including an urban versus natural site, whereas sampling in the Nordic countries (Sweden and the neigbouring regions) is based on sampling natural sites only. Please indicate whether you are participating in the global design or the Nordic sampling design.
If you sign up for the global design, you will need to fill in information on two sites (urban and natural), if the latter, then you need to supply information on a single natural site only.
Please provide coordinates of the natural location as decimal degrees from Google Maps, and a brief description of the area (habitat type, protection status, previous use in your research activities, potential risks associated to sampling, e.g. related to security)
You can get coordinates by right-clicking the desired location on Google Maps (https://www.google.com/maps) and selecting "What's here?". A card will appear at the bottom with coordinates as a link. Click the link and an info screen will appear at the left. Copy the second, SMALLER coordinates (e.g. "60.231496, 25.019349") into the form.
As for the natural locations, please provide coordinates of the urban location as decimal degrees from Google Maps, and a brief description of the area (habitat type, protection status, previous use in your research activities, potential risks associated to sampling, e.g. related to security)
