Abstract: In many regions, earth played an important role as construction material over centuries and therefore, was an important economic and societal driver. From a cultural perspective, specific earth construction techniques led to unique architecture and infrastructure, which influenced the landscape utilisation and subsequently the societal identity.
Today, many earth construction sites and earth pits are abandoned but earth as a “new” material for ecological and regional building is becoming more and more popular. Identifying, classifying and analysing these old sites and structures promotes the understanding of a regional cultural and landscape emergence and can support the development of new technologies linked to traditional applications.
As gathering data on this topic needs local and historical knowledge we apply a citizen science approach based on the tools and methods developed together with school students. Together with geologists, jurists, earth construction experts and the Museumsdorf Niedersulz, the legal and contextual framework will be developed to implement a citizen science project on earth monitoring and analysing. The participating schools support the project with their work in the main project and help to develop and test the earth application and the methodological framework.
