Low-Cost Open Source Networked Environmental Data Acquisition Seminar

Christopher Dutton, from the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and the Yale University Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology gave a seminar at FIU-ARC on August 6th, 2014 about Low-Cost Open Source Networked Environmental Data Acquisition. Christopher Dutton (former Project Coordinator for the USAID-funded Transboundary Water for Biodiversity and Human Health in the Mara River Basin Project – TWB MRB) will present an overview of the Arduino platform and provide real world, relevant examples of how these devices can be used to study a range of environmental research topics. The Arduino platform is built around a microcontroller that can directly interface with many low-cost, commercially available sensors. He will demonstrate the potential for this technology in transforming our ability to cheaply acquire environmental information in near real-time with scientific grade accuracy.
