My research is focused on computer support for community-based monitoring, at the intersection of citizen science, volunteered geographic information (VGI), and mobile crowdsourcing. Local-scale volunteer monitoring programs face a particular tension: the need to demonstrate the quality of the data they collect, while having limited resources available to provision and sustain ICT for data management and provenance tracking. As both a practitioner and an ethnographer, I am exploring ways to resolve this tension by documenting the challenges I observe and by proposing design recommendations where appropriate. My research to date is exemplified in "wq", which is both a set of design principles and a modular software framework I have built to address these challenges.
