Highlighting projects we’re working on and gadgets we’ve built.
Floodzilla Gauge Network: Community-Designed Flood Monitoring
Flooding is a part of life in the lower Snoqualmie Valley in Washington. The Floodzilla Gauge Network helps residents, land managers, and farmers prepare.
Stream Sleuths
David George, a volunteer for the Angelica Creek Watershed Association, was alerted by a Mayfly Data Logger that something unnerving was happening in the creek.
A River Flood Monitoring System for Rapid Deployment
Filling river monitoring gaps requires systems with low size, weight, power consumption, and cost. Stroud Water Research Center’s ORCA fits the bill.
An Autonomous Lighted Insect Trap to Assess Aquatic Ecosystem Health
University of Wisconsin mechanical engineering students are developing a digital insect light trap to assess insect populations cheaper, faster, and better than current methods.
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.
