Autonomous Monitoring of Vulnerable Habitats
Robin Freeman, a post-doc in Computational Ecology and Environmental Science here in MSR Cambridge, and a number of the rest of us here in MSRC, European Science Initiative, together with partners at Freie Universitat Berlin and Oxford University have just concluded the first phase of an interesting project in the monitoring of vulnerable habitats using a wireless autonomous sensor web. You can learn more here.
This is an ongoing research effort, with the next field season on Skomer Island starting in just a few weeks. We're hopeful to see additional deployments in a variety of habitats around the world. This work will help enable more convenient, less-invasive and longer-term monitoring of vulnerable species and habitats.
