CBET 1644650 (Etheridge)This award is under NSF's topic of Public Participation in Scientific Research. The investigators will assess the reliability, validity and trustworthiness of data collected by citizen scientists by investigating the drivers of flooding following storm events on Bogue Banks, a barrier island in North Carolina. Forty citizen scientists will be recruited for the the project to (a) document areas prone to storm water flooding, and (b) measure and record groundwater and surface water levels in coastal communities over a three month period. The citizen science team will deploy 20 automated water loggers in wells to collect independent groundwater data with which to compare data collected by citizen scientists. The citizen scientists will also be asked to identify areas prone to stormwater flooding where staff gages will be installed by the investigators to measure surface water ponding during storm events. The citizen scientists will be tasked with recording the water level and taking photos of the staff gages in flooded areas using smart phones or other devices. The investigators will then use image processing/machine vision software to extract quantitative data from the photos for comparison with the data recorded by the citizen scientists. A groundwater model will be used to simulate the impact of water table fluctuations on stormwater flooding events. One of the major outcomes of this project will be a determination of the reliability and validity of the groundwater and surface water level measurements made by citizen scientists along with the identification of other issues associated with their measurements in this context. The data collected by the citizen scientists will be used by the researchers to develop and evaluate models that relate groundwater level and precipitation data to stormwater flooding. Such models would be useful to water professionals/engineers in sustaining environmental systems impacted by stormwater flooding through the provision of information on anticipated flooding that is based on precipitation and depth to the water table.

CBET 1644650（Etheridge）该奖项是NSF公众参与科学研究的主题。调查人员将通过调查北卡罗来纳州障碍岛Bogue Banks的风暴事件后，通过调查洪水泛滥的驱动因素来评估公民科学家收集的数据的可靠性，有效性和可信赖性。该项目将被招募到（a）容易雨水泛滥的文件区域，以及（b）在三个月内衡量和记录沿海社区的地下水和地表水位的项目。公民科学团队将在井中部署20个自动化的水记录仪，以收集独立的地下水数据，以比较公民科学家收集的数据。还将要求公民科学家确定容易发生雨水洪水的区域，调查人员将在其中安装工作人员，以测量暴风雨事件期间的地表水池。公民科学家的任务是记录水位，并使用智能手机或其他设备在被洪水泛滥的地区拍摄量子的照片。然后，研究人员将使用图像处理/机器视觉软件从照片中提取定量数据，以与公民科学家记录的数据进行比较。地下水模型将用于模拟地下水位波动对雨水洪水事件的影响。 该项目的主要结果之一将是确定公民科学家进行的地下水和地表水位测量的可靠性和有效性，并确定在这种情况下与其测量相关的其他问题。 研究人员将使用公民科学家收集的数据来开发和评估将地下水水平和降水数据与雨水洪水联系起来的模型。通过提供基于降水量和深度到地下水位的预期洪水的信息，这种模型对于维持受雨水洪水影响的环境系统的水域/工程师将很有用。
