observe climate change on your smartphone and

Earth Observation satellites continuously observe the

annual and inter-annual dynamics of the Earth’s vegetation phenology – an important variable character- izing plant traits and indicating environmental change. As a key Essential Biodiversity Variable metrics like the start and duration of the growing period provide valuable information to environmental experts, scientists and citizens. Satellite data on environ-mental change are freely available on global level and are integrated in the open data initiative of the European Commission and the Group on Earth Observa-tion. The development of the app is part of the MyGEOSS project on innovative apps in environmental and social domains.

The app makes use and supports the land and

climate change observation services of the European Union’s Earth monitoring programme Copernicus. It allows using time series of the Enhanced Vegetation Index for analyzing the start, length and end of the growing season, and long term vegetation trend ana-lyses.

Users can participate in building and establish-

ing an in-situ database for phenological information and compare their individual observations with satellite measurements, explore thematic maps related to phenology and have access to a 15 year time series of global vegetation dynamics.

This application has been developed within the MyGEOSS project, which has received funding from the European Union‘s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
