Environmental research
The field of environmental research is dynamic and multidisciplinary, encompassing various scientific areas in the study of the Earth system, including man-made impacts on the environment. Environmental research forms the foundation of this discipline, enabling environmental scientists to investigate natural processes, study their interactions and develop solutions to environmental problems.
Ecological studies, soil analysis, climate surveys and other environmental investigations are aided by the use of data loggers and monitoring systems, enabling a complete and accurate assessment.
HOBO data loggers, weather stations and software provide environmental scientists with reliable tools to collect the full range of environmental data leading to a better understanding of environmental conditions.
Study on cooling with green spaces in cities
Due to climate change, extreme heat is now the main cause of weather-related deaths. People are particularly at risk in large cities, where 80% of the population lives in the USA, for example. To better understand how green spaces affect the climate, a cooling study was conducted in New York City.
Deploying Weather Stations: A guide to best practice
From the tropics to the poles, in agriculture and metreology. Many branches of research rely on weather stations with integrated data loggers. These are highly versatile. Both in molecular plant pathology and in the question of how glacier activity can influence air temperature. Weather stations are even used in the management of companies. Since they can be used around the clock, researchers receive precise data and measurements instead of just estimates based on regional weather data.
Monitoring the behavior of "green roofs" with weather stations
In a world that is environmentally aware and focused on sustainable buildings, green roofs are getting more and more attention in new construction or renovation projects. Because this investment can pay off. To prove this and demonstrate further advantages of green roofs, it is important to monitor their behavior. Weather stations with integrated data loggers are ideal for this. They measure parameters such as rainfall, rain runoff, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and solar radiation as well as non-weather parameters such as soil moisture. This collected information can help to make sensible decisions regarding design, settings and maintenance.
Water level data loggers aid river revitalization project
The Buzzards Bay Coalition is a non-profit organization based in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It uses data loggers to collect critical baseline data, conduct a feasibility study and evaluate river restoration alternatives. Once evaluated, the results will be used to build and open a channel for fish.
Monitoring solutions for wetland restoration
Wetlands have a high ecological value: they have a positive influence on the microclimate, bind climate-damaging gases such as CO2 and act as a natural environmental filter for polluted groundwater. They serve as flood reservoirs, help to minimize erosion and create habitats for many animals and plants. Although a large proportion of wetlands have declined due to many factors, efforts are being stepped up to restore and protect these ecosystems.
With ongoing urbanization and the use of pesticides and fertilizers, protecting water quality, endangered species habitats and aquatic ecosystems is more important than ever to ensure a sustainable future. To ensure success, wetlands must be monitored for factors such as water level, temperature and precipitation. We offer all the systems you need to monitor all environmental parameters - from stand-alone data loggers to intelligent and networked monitoring solutions.
