We understand our project team as everyone who contributes to the project. Of course our citizen scientists are in the center of attention, because without their data reports, the discussions about the recorded animal species and the improvement suggestions for the apps, website and the method itself, the project would not be possible. Some of our citizen scientists are also presented in our team blog.
The project Roadkill is carried out at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna, therefore some investigations are also carried out within the framework of master theses. Currently running master theses are:
- Patrick Diem: Hotspot analysis of roadkill in Austria based on citizen science.
- Raphael van Dyck: Analysis of surrounding landscape and road types for roadkill hedgehogs
In addition, there are people in the project who contribute significantly to the success, be it through programming and designing the website and apps or through scientific work. We are happy to have such a great team and that it is constantly growing and becoming more diverse due to our Citizen Scientists.
