Rebecca Boger has a background in geospatial technologies, marine science, and science education. Before coming to Brooklyn College, she worked for GLOBE, an international science and education program supported by NASA, NSF, NOAA and the US State Department. In GLOBE, she worked with teams of scientists and educators to develop classroom materials, conduct workshops, and facilitate international collaborations. She continues to work with GLOBE to develop online training materials and a citizen science network. Recently, colleagues and she received an NSF EAGER grant to develop a GLOBE Observer (GO) citizen science app to collect data about mosquito breeding habitat, mosquito larvae identification, and to develop optical recognition software for mosquito larvae. At Brooklyn College, CUNY, she teaches geospatial technologies and works with anthropologists and archaeologists in Barbuda on socio-ecological resilience research, community-based mapping, and environmental modeling. In the NYC area, she works with NYC Parks and Gateway National Recreation Area on historical mapping and trends in the analysis of marshes and shoreline. She continues her education work with a greater emphasis on sustainability, resilience, and climate change topics where she is helping to build an urban sustainability program and online materials.
