“…One could refer to citizen scientists by their specific expertise, for example 'sea ice experts' when working with that particular set of indigenous knowledge holders in the Arctic (Eicken 2010;Pulsifer et al 2011). One could also ask the contributors what they want to be called, as different groups may have different preferences.…”

Much can be at stake depending on the choice of words used to describe citizen science, because terminology impacts how knowledge is developed. Citizen science is a quickly evolving field that is mobilizing people's involvement in information development, social action and justice, and large-scale information gathering. Currently, a wide variety of terms and expressions are being used to refer to the concept of 'citizen science' and its practitioners. Here, we explore these terms to help provide guidance for the future growth of this field. We do this by reviewing the theoretical, historical, geopolitical, and disciplinary context of citizen science terminology; discussing what citizen science is and reviewing related terms; and providing a collection of potential terms and definitions for 'citizen science' and people participating in citizen science projects. This collection of terms was generated primarily from the broad knowledge base and on-the-ground experience of the authors, by recognizing the potential issues associated with various terms. While our examples may not be systematic or exhaustive, they are intended to be suggestive and invitational of future consideration. In our collective experience with citizen science projects, no single term is appropriate for all contexts. In a given citizen science project, we suggest that terms should be chosen carefully and their usage explained; direct communication with participants about how terminology affects them and what they would prefer to be called also should occur. We further recommend that a more systematic study of terminology trends in citizen science be conducted.

“…A number of northern and Indigenous communities are interested in preserving Indigenous Knowledge (IK; Engler, Scassa & Taylor 2013;Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami 2016;Scassa & Taylor 2013;Pearce et al 2009;Pulsifer et al 2011). IK is a ' cumulative body of knowledge and beliefs, handed down through generations by cultural transmission, about the relationship of living beings (including humans) with one another and with their environment' (Scassa & Taylor 2017: 2).…”

“…We prefer the term Indigenous Knowledge, as the term 'Traditional' may imply knowledge and practices that were acquired only in the past and are thus seen as static (Pulsifer et al 2011). The term "Local" can be interpreted as including knowledge other than Indigenous knowledge (Pulsifer et al 2011) and is thus too broad for our purposes. Hence, we will use the term Indigenous Knowledge (IK) in this article.…”

“…Two specific examples of such research projects are the Atlas of Inuit Sea Ice Knowledge and Use (Siku Atlas; Pulsifer et al 2011), and the use of digital cartography in the Canadian north (Engler, Scassa & Taylor 2013). These relationships and the input gained from IK are crucial to provide data and information for decision making at different levels.…”

“…The Greenland Government has piloted the development of a simple, field-based system for 15 observing and managing resources developed specifically to enable Greenlandic fishers and hunters to document trends in living resources and to propose management decisions themselves (Danielsen et al 2014; searchable database available at https://eloka-arctic.org/pisuna-net/). The system was designed to build upon existing informal observing methods, and it includes most of the aspects that are believed to make knowledge generation initiatives 'culturally appropriate' (Pulsifer et al 2011). At the national level in Greenland, there is considerable scope for collecting community member observations from 20 this system and using them to track wider trends in the abundance of resources while at the same time increasing community members' voice in higher-level decision-making (Table 2).…”

Abstract. The Arctic marine climate system is changing rapidly, seen as warming of the ocean and atmosphere, decline of sea ice cover, increase in river discharge, acidification of the ocean, and changes in marine ecosystems. Socio-economic activities 20 in the coastal and marine Arctic are simultaneously changing. This calls for establishment of a marine Arctic component of the Pan-Eurasian Experiment (MA-PEEX). There is a need for more in-situ observations on the marine atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean, but increasing the amount of such observations is a pronounced technological and logistical challenge. The SMEAR (Station Measuring Ecosystem-Atmosphere Relations) concept can be applied in coastal and archipelago stations, but in the Arctic Ocean it will probably be more cost-effective to further develop a strongly distributed marine observation network 25 based on autonomous buoys, moorings, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).These have to be supported by research vessel and aircraft campaigns, as well as various coastal observations, including community-based ones. Major manned drifting stations may occasionally serve comparable to terrestrial SMEAR Flagship stations. To best utilize the observations, atmosphere-ocean reanalyses need to be further developed. To well integrate MA-PEEX with the existing terrestrial/atmospheric PEEX, focus is needed on the river discharge and associated fluxes, coastal 30 processes, as well as atmospheric transports in and out of the marine Arctic. More observations and research are also needed on the specific socio-economic challenges and opportunities in the marine and coastal Arctic, and on their interaction with changes in the climate and environmental system. MA-PEEX will promote international collaboration, sustainable marine Atmos. Chem. Phys. Discuss., https://doi
