Description

le_temps is an ongoing project that gathers and presents crowd-sourced phenology information from online image databases like Flickr. Since early 2008, roughly 40 million images have been uploaded to Flickr every month. This ever-growing digital collection documents a vast range of human experience and observations of the world. With the proliferation of cameras and mobile computation, our contemporary era has become defined by a collective enthusiasm for capturing events and moments of change. Phenology being an area of science also concerned with observing change. It is the study of recurring biological events in the animal and plant world, of the timing of these events and of the biotic and abiotic forces that drive these cycles. Within the scientific community, there is a growing interest in the collection of phenology records to better understand how ecological systems respond to conditions of climate change.
