The BioBlitz@Oxy is a citizen science event to document the biodiversity of Occidental College. During this one day event, we will identify as many species as possible on the Occidental College campus. These data will provide baseline knowledge about local biodiversity so we can measure how these species respond to future environmental changes.

The primary goals of this event are to perform a rapid inventory of the species that are currently found on campus and to contribute to the new campus biodiversity database.We are excited to involve members of the college and surrounding community in this citizen science project.

This event is sponsored by Oxy's Biology Department and Center for Digital Liberal Arts, with support from the President's office, Dean's office and Core Program. less ↑
