Highlighting projects we’re working on and gadgets we’ve built.
The “Frankenlog” Network: A Forest Floor Ecohydrology Sensor Network Using the Mayfly Data Logger
Understanding how forest floor management decisions impact ecosystem processes is difficult since long-term data on silvicultural impacts are sparse.
Hemispherical Shield to Reduce Fouling of Campbell Turbidity Sensor
Sensor fouling greatly reduced our confidence in the turbidity data. We decided to test a hemispherical shield for ease of construction and installation.
Low-Cost Stream “Tower Sampler”
We have developed a low-cost and very simple “Tower Sampler” that utilizes plastic bottles mounted vertically in the stream to collect discrete samples as various stream levels.
Monitoring Coastal Streams With the Mayfly Data Logger and Atlas Scientific Sensors
Adam Gold from the University of North Carolina Institute of Marine Sciences explains how the unique characteristics of coastal streams influenced his monitoring station design.
Construction of Water Level Monitoring Sensor Station
Our goal was to supply Comfort Lake Forest Lake Watershed District in Forest Lake, Minnesota with an easy to use, low cost, and low power system that continuously monitors groundwater levels with minimal visits to the site.
Arduino based water quality measurement by IO-Rodeo
I had the joy of traveling to Bhutan in November 2015 with a delegation from Stroud Water Research Center and Waterkeeper Alliance. Among our goals was to provide our Bhutanese colleagues at Clean Bhutan and government agencies with water quality monitoring tools and methods that are low cost, accurate, sustainable, and adaptable to their needs to help them monitor their own water quality.
