Interests and Expertise
Shannon designs and builds a variety of environmental sensor data logger systems using custom hardware and software and commercial sensors. She also deploys and maintains the sensors and data logger stations in various settings ranging from freshwater streams to coastal marine environments. The stations monitor water, soil, and climate parameters in forests, agricultural fields, and urban settings, and then transmit the real-time data to a custom database and visualization system. She is the designer of the EnviroDIY Mayfly Data Logger board, and co-founder of the EnviroDIY.org community. Shannon also teaches workshops to students, educators, and citizen scientists about how to build and use low-cost environmental monitoring stations.
