New Zealand Scientists Test Pollutant Monitoring Using EnviroDIY Hardware
Researchers in New Zealand discovered that high-frequency monitoring of rivers yielded a more accurate accounting of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loads than monthly grab samples allowed for. While high-frequency monitoring was more expensive, “the added investment is minor when weighed against the risks of poorly informed land management actions or generic policies based on limited con...[Read More]
Mayfly Data Logger gets OSHWA Certification
The EnviroDIY Mayfly Data Logger was recently certified by the Open Source Hardware Association, verifying that the project meets all the criteria for open source compliance.
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.
EPA Publishes EnviroDIY-Based Monitoring Results
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has come full circle with EnviroDIY and the Mayfly Data Logger.
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.
Real-Time Monitoring of Pollution Biosentinels
New technology measures water pollution severity by relating how long shellfish keep their shells closed relative to tidal patterns in salinity and oxygen.
Reliable, Low-Cost Methods for Sensor Deployment in Estuaries
Stroud Water Research Center investigated tidal dynamics and associated sediment movement in two Maryland rivers using EnviroDIY Monitoring Stations.
Learn EnviroDIY With Us!
Stroud Water Research Center is offering a two-day, in-person workshop to introduce EnviroDIY technologies, including the Mayfly Data Logger.
Learn Do-It-Yourself Electronics for Environmental Monitoring
This workshop will help you learn the skills necessary to assemble, program, and deploy a water monitoring station, but with the understanding that the DIY journey has just begun!
Mayflies in Coastal Redwoods – Northern California
I’ve completed a deployment of remote telemetry monitoring of depth gauges with the purpose of visualizing depth readings for Trout Unlimited California.
New Mayfly v1.1 release date and Product Status page
The new Mayfly v1.1 boards will be available starting March 10, 2022.
Monitor My Watershed Hits the Cloud!
Users will notice increased responsiveness, speed, and reliability, along with a new and improved Time Series Visualization.
New Mayfly Data Logger and Accessories
The new logger board is called Mayfly version 1.0, because it's the first major revision to the design since the beta version 0.5 that was first released in 2016.
EnviroDIY Summer Camp Helps Students Build Skills and Monitoring Stations
Over the summer, all the stars lined up to make one perfect program: an EnviroDIY camp for high school students in Lynchburg, Virginia.
My Experience Building an EnviroDIY Monitoring Station
Computer program downloading and circuit board wiring were not my forte, so the first thing I did was enlist the help of the most tech-savvy people I know.
Tracking River Flow with GPS
Travel distance is critical for studying many aspects of river ecosystems, and sometimes it’s more accurate to measure, not just predict, how far river water travels over time.
Virtual Do-It-Together Workshop Helps Citizen Scientists Get Monitoring Faster
This was the first workshop of its kind in which attendees were guided through the entire process of assembling, programming, and installing an EnviroDIY monitoring station from start to finish.
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.
