A Double machine learning trend model for citizen science data

Just saw this through The Wildlife Society, the focus was on eBird, but seems it would be transferrable to iNat?
With close to 60,000 observations for the City of Surrey where I work, I would love to have better tools to analyze the incredibly valuable data that our community science efforts represent.

“Citizen science can give researchers remarkable data, but the findings are subject to the accuracy of the participants. Since human behavior can be even more confounding than wildlife behavior, researchers at the Cornell Lab have had to wrestle with changes in how birders record their findings.”
