  3. Murray State’s Hancock Biological Station (HBS), the University of Montana’s Flathead Lake Biological Station (FLBS), the University of Kentucky, Montana State University and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA, University of Illinois) received a $6 million cyberinfrastructure grant from the National Science Foundation. The funding will allow for state-of-the-art environmental sensors to be placed in Kentucky Lake and Flathead Lake to understand and visualize ecological processes. http://www.murraystate.edu/qacd/cos/hbs/VOEIS

  4. Highland Navigation Light Kentucky Lake 2005 -- present http://www.murraystate.edu/qacd/cos/hbs/VOEIS

  5. presently • Water ºC • Conductivity • pH • Dissolved O2 • Turbidity • Chlorophyll a • ORP • Met data cables 2 YSI Sondes are housed inside PVC pipe and situated 1 meter off bottom and 1 meter from water surface http://www.murraystate.edu/qacd/cos/hbs/VOEIS

  6. YSI EMM350 PISCES PlatformPontoon for In-situ Characterization of Environmental Systems The PISCES is a lightweight pontoon platform which supports water quality, water velocity, and meteorological sensors as well as computer logging systems. • Monitoring rivers, reservoirs, lakes • Easy to deploy • Fits in pickup truck • Towable by small vessels • Stable one- or two-point mooring http://www.murraystate.edu/qacd/cos/hbs/VOEIS

  7. Telemetry: Radiowave Line of sight Towers Deployment Time-line: Spring 2010, Fall 2010 Watersheds: by Spring 2011 Met station: (Air ºC, PAR, wind speed & direction, webcam) Water ºC *DO *Turbidity *Chl a *Phycocyanin pH ORP Conductivity Current speed *optical sensors Exper. Sensors: *NO3, CO2, *CDOM, others    http://www.murraystate.edu/qacd/cos/hbs/VOEIS

  8. Collaborations: Lake Metabolism (presently) Cyanobacteria/microbial ecology (plans for next year) CDOM (future) Other partners: U-Montana, U-Kentucky, U-Louisville, Montana State, etc., with experimental sensors (e.g., CO2) We need some advice/help with buoy design, do-able sensors, potential experimental sensors, collaborations in ways of analyzing our data. What has your experience been with these issues? Introduce yourselves and talk with us…..!
