Individual Participants


Individual participants can support the Eclipse Soundscapes (ES) project and its scientific mission in many different ways. Some of these options are all online, some will invite you to get outside to observe or collect data, and all will be exciting ways to get more involved in the science surrounding the 2023 annular eclipse and the 2024 total solar eclipse! As you complete the different levels and participate in different roles you can earn virtual badges. Learn more below!

Requirements: 13 and older (with guardian permission under 18), technology requirements differ by role, on or off eclipse path opportunities!

Eclipse Soundscapes Citizen Scientist

Once you’ve completed the Eclipse Soundscapes Apprentice level you have the eclipse knowledge needed to advance and participate as an Eclipse Soundscapes Citizen Scientist! Together we will figure out if solar eclipses affect life on Earth! You can help by participating in one or more of the Eclipse Soundscapes Scientist roles below. Each of these roles has its own important scientific objectives, which include observing, collecting data, and analyzing data.  And you’ll earn completion certificates for these roles too!
