Description: 

This poster was presented at the 2021 NSF AISL Awardee Meeting.

This research draws from scholarship on bonds between people and places to help understand the growing knowledge, community, and personal outcomes linked to place-based citizen science experiences.

Following an analysis of the place attachment (PAT) (an emotional bond between a person and a place) of participants in the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) citizen science program, an adapted three-dimensional model of PAT is proposed as a framework from which place-based citizen science experiences and outcomes might be examined in depth to probe for links to program engagement, retention, and learning outcomes.
