Nature is just outside your door — in your backyard, a vacant lot next door or perhaps a stand of trees down the block.

As envisioned by a trio of biologists and their partners at Carnegie Mellon University's CREATE Lab, the GigaBlitz involves scientists, students and amateur naturalists in a global effort to reveal the extraordinary biodiversity of the ordinary settings where people live, learn and work. Details about GigaBlitz are available at science.gigapan.org.
