Abstract

Computer Science will have four distinct roles in this W. M. Keck project. First, we will be designing and building field-deployable remote monitoring systems for the on-campus study plot. These will be small, solar powered, single-board computer based units with the capability to monitor, record, and up-load temperature, pH (digital), conductivity, redox potential, pressure, and nitrate levels. This will make current data available to any campus-linked computer system for classroom or laboratory use, for archiving and for model development and testing. These developments will build on existing work that the Hardware Interfacing Project, one of our student/faculty applied computer science groups, has done with field-deployable weather stations.
