PhenoCam
In the spring of 2024, Vanderbilt University is pleased to announce that the PhenoCam is live on the Peabody campus. This phenology camera monitors changes in tree canopy greenness at thirty-minute intervals, providing us with permanent continuous data on vegetation dynamics on campus under climate change. Our Vanderbilt site is part of the PhenoCam Network, a global network established in 2008 with >700 sites across various ecosystems for continental-scale phenological observations. The diverse array of images includes the tracking of vegetation phenology across North America and around the world, with the image archive currently including over 60 million pictures. Greenness index will be extracted from the photos and can be used for climate and environmental science research, teaching, and outreach. All data are open-access and publicly available in near-real time. The link for the Vanderbilt site is provided here, and for more information, here is the Phenocam Network website.
