Presentation Transcript

  1. Environment and Sensor Networks Workshop US France Young Engineering Scientists Symposium 22-24 Oct 2007 US France Workshop On Environment and and Sensor Nets

  2. From Case Studies to Research Themes • Animal Behavior • Spatial Variability of Net Primary Productivity • Aquatic Systems US France Workshop On Environment and and Sensor Nets

  3. Animal Behavior • Collar systems for, e.g., badgers • 3D accelerometers for dead reckoning • Adaptive/intelligent sampling • Passive systems (e.g., RFID) for data collection • Measurement of interaction • Measurement of physiological processes, e.g., heart rate • Measurement of environmental conditions US France Workshop On Environment and and Sensor Nets

  4. Spatial Variation in Terrestrial Net Primary Productivity • High density spatial sampling • Example system: flux tower site • Measurement of light, soil moisture, relative humidity, temperature • Sampling frequency/interval scales from 20 Hz to 30 seconds depending on variable US France Workshop On Environment and and Sensor Nets

  5. Aquatic Systems - Physical Structure of the Environment and Net Primary Productivity • Continuous monitoring of phy-bio variables over depth • 1 sample/hour • real-time data at desktop • video (microorganisms) • seasonal scales US France Workshop On Environment and and Sensor Nets

  6. Research Ideas/Themes • Animal Behavior • Nutrient cycling • Spatial heterogeneity • Dynamic network topology, energy-constrained, remote • GPS/inertial fusion, advanced sampling and feature analysis • Spatial Variability of Net Primary Productivity • Eddy flux tower footprint • Plant growth/demography • Adaptive sampling; capability for long-term monitoring • Aquatic Systems • Plankton dynamics along gradients • Impact of coastal nutrient loading • Optimized seasonal sampling • Remote, high data-rate systems US France Workshop On Environment and and Sensor Nets

  7. Unifying Issues/Themes • Identify research bridges between groups (animal behaviour, Spatial Variability of Net Primary Productivity) • Lack of mechanisms for information exchange between disciplines • Develop information sources on IT capabilities in environmental sensing • Need for testbeds and real-wolrd datasets • Data management/standards • Promote research across experiments and scales US France Workshop On Environment and and Sensor Nets
