"An Introduction to Emerging
Technologies for Environmental Data Monitoring: Loggers to Sensors
Networks to the Cloud"
Course Objectives
1) Provide an overview
of new technologies, both hardware and software, used for the collection
and storage of environmental data.
2) Introduce the technical
language, sensors, power requirements, transmission options, packaging
issues, and cost considerations that underlie the designs of these
systems.
3) Gain experience applying an analysis framework to decide
if these new monitoring technologies might be of benefit to your
monitoring studies.
4) Compare current offerings from some of the
leading vendors and describe trends in component and systems
development.
5) Give students hands on experience with home grown
and commercial monitoring systems.

This short-course is designed to
introduce emerging environmental monitoring technologies to
academic researchers, consultants/industry, and governmental
employees. We will provide specific examples of environmental
monitoring systems to illustrate general design challenges. This course is suitable for biologists,
ecologists, chemists, environmental scientists, site managers,
regulators, and advanced undergraduate & graduate students.
Instructors: Francesco Peri, MS; Michael Pollard, BS (Co-Founder
of CESN); and Robert Stevenson, PhD (Co-Founder of CESN).
