Use your cell phone to help us document seasonal changes in the Sprague Marsh while you explore Bates-Morse Mountain Conservation Area.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Chronolog station has been installed at the entrance of Sprague Marsh within the Bates-Morse Mountain Conservation Area to help document seasonal changes as well as tidal flooding events. This community science project provides an opportunity for visitors to contribute to long-term data to better understand how this unique landscape changes season to season and over time. Everyone is invited to participate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How it works:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong>&nbsp;Locate the Chronolog station along the dirt road of Bates-Morse Mountain. An informational sign will alert you to the opportunity to contribute to this project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong>&nbsp;Place your cell phone on the designated mounting bracket and take a photo of the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3:<\/strong>&nbsp;Email the photo to Chronolog by following the directions provided at the station. After the photo is submitted, you will receive a brief message through email about the unique photo you captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4:<\/strong>\u00a0Check back here or visit the Chronolog website and view a time-lapse series of everyone\u2019s photos. Visitor photos are compiled together into a time-lapse series showing seasonal changes and all different weather conditions on the marsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Check out the Bates-Morse Mountain Chronolog timelapse:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chronolog Player: Sprague Marsh\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/chronolog.io\/embed\/BMM101\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Calling all Educators!<\/strong>&nbsp;How could you use this tool in your classroom?&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Introduction of phenology (study of seasonal change)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tidal education and sea level rise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wabanaki Studies and sweetgrass beds in marsh ecosystems &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introduction of community\/citizen science<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introduction of the space and place before your visit to BMMCA\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What do you&nbsp;<em>Notice<\/em>, what do you&nbsp;<em>Wonder&nbsp;<\/em>activity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chronolog Time-Lapse Project at Bates-Morse Mountain Conservation Area &nbsp;&nbsp; Anyone can be&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1750,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"bates_author_byline_override":"","_hide_page_title":false,"_header_override":"","_template_width_override":"","_dimp_site_id":"","_dimp_override_contact":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"_sidebarChoice":"","footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"class_list":["post-588","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/bates-morse-mountain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/bates-morse-mountain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/bates-morse-mountain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/bates-morse-mountain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1750"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/bates-morse-mountain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=588"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/bates-morse-mountain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/588\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":600,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/bates-morse-mountain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/588\/revisions\/600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/bates-morse-mountain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
