Stroud Water Research Center
How the Clean Water Act changed the trajectory of America’s waterways and became a beacon for freshwater science.
The goal of the project is to connect residents and communities with the river and all it has to offer as a scenic and recreational destination.
Real-time chlorophyll sensors can be used to determine the origins of algae in rivers and streams.
Take a look at the effects of road salt on our streams and rivers and learn how volunteers and organizations are working to monitor what’s happening to their freshwater resources.
The Stroud Center and partner LimnoTech, Inc. will work with Amazon’s cloud computing arm to develop a portal for sharing and visualizing environmental data.
Participants will be exposed to all aspects of Stroud Water Research Center’s EnviroDIY project, including Mayfly Data Logger programming, writing Arduino code for off-the-shelf commercial sensors, and using a free data portal (Monitor My Watershed®) for real-time data upload and visualization.
Fishing guides in Michigan are using real-time data from an EnviroDIY monitoring station to remotely make appropriate decisions on where and when to fish.
For teachers, access to real-time data on the Monitor My Watershed data portal can revolutionize the way students are taught about water.
How can homemade leaf packs and an online data portal help you study creeping, crawling aquatic macroinvertebrates?
Not everyone has the opportunity to become a professional scientist, but a great scientist can come from anywhere. Anyone can be a part of science.
