Living Snow Project vs Guidemate CRM

Use this app to report your snow algae findings to the research team and broader Community Scientists. The app will assist volunteers in reporting observations of snow algae and recording GPS coordinates of samples (by recording sample tube number at the site of the collection) directly to the Living Snow Project team. The Living Snow Project engages the outdoor recreation community as community scientists in research exploring the biodiversity of alpine snow ecosystems and this app will make the whole process even easier. All data is stored in Microsoft Azure through Western Washington University.
