Notes
Some thoughts on:
Urban Research Station
Sensor network
The sensor network will consist of round 25 devices measuring acoustic activity and the environment.
-
Sensor network philosophy - how we thought about the deisgn of a sensor network.
-
Sensor network install - documenting the installation of the sensor network.
More-than-human approaches
More-than-human appraoches to biodiversity research are looking at how we can make urban areas more habitable for all species.
