102-0510-00L Introduction to Environmental Monitoring
| Semester | Spring Semester 2025 |
| Lecturers | E. Morgenroth, M. Floriancic, I. Hajnsek, L. von Känel |
| Periodicity | yearly recurring course |
| Language of instruction | German |
| Abstract | Typical parameter which are relevant for environmental systems are measured with modern sensors. The measuring devices are put together and programmed using a Sensebox (Arduino-based measuring box). The environmental data are analyzed and compared with information from literature. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | - Gain understanding of measuring with modern sensors and basic understanding of electronic signal transmission. - Practical application of programming in the languages Arduino (C++) and Python. - Planning and carrying out measurement campaigns independently. - Be able to estimate the precision and correctness of measurements. - Use time series analysis profitably. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The observation of different environmental systems is possible: - Weather and rain data. - heat island effect of cities. - Evapotranspiration: evaporation of water from the surface and from plants. - Measurement of environmental parameters in water bodies. - Indoor air quality. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
