PULSAQUA

Creating the impulsive force on water, together

Our Services

Through its independent citizen science research and consultancy PULSAQUA helps build a sustainable world, leading the field when it comes to water-related environmental problems where society is involved. With our citizen science and water management expertise we help government agencies, NGOs and industries achieve structural change by working together with society.

PULSAQUA advises on citizen science (CS) use, creates CS (monitoring) projects and delivers environmental impact assessments together with citizen scientists. We help NGO’s, government agencies and industries to track and monitor specific desired changes that society needs to go through, together with that same society. For information about our current and previous projects and deliverables, please have a look at the Portfolio page.

Our services for the sustainability of the globe have for now been directed to the themes:

Development of Citizen Science Projects

Citizen Science is a fast upcoming method for research, monitoring, and citizen participation in the water and environment sector. However, creating such citizen science projects is often much more complicated than foreseen. And you have only one chance to do it right, and not disappoint the citizens you want to involve. We therefore advise, assist, and train in creating and developing such citizen science projects.

Deploying Citizen Science to Reach Impact

Citizen Science is still under development, and many aspects are therefore still to be deployed. PULSAQUA is working on different innovative uses of citizen science data and initiatives and offers services using the acquired expertise in the field of data interoperability, stakeholder mapping & cooperation, integration of earth observation and citizen science data, and application of citizen science data for environmental impact assessments.

Improve Performance of Citizen Science Projects

To improve the performance of your citizen science project, PULSAQUA can help evaluate, validate and/or strengthen citizen science participation, since: (1) it is important to evaluate whether the project or community is reaching its goals and envisioned impact, (2) one of the often recurring discussion points for citizen science is that the resulting data quality is uncertain, and (3) strengthening by offering training and workshops for the participating citizen scientists results in higher impact.
