Title: “Integration of Multi-disciplinary Data Sources to Understand Hydro-Climatic Change”

With over 500 events in 94 countries, Arduino Day celebrations on May 12 provided proof of the popularity of the Arduino platform in the maker world. In our corner of the world, the Arduino platform can offer a low cost, and customizable means to augment commercial research equipment such as weather stations, provided you are not afraid to do a little work.

Please join us for a presentation by PhD candidate Aaron Thompson, entitled:

‘Low-cost DIY Arduino Weather Station’

An outline of the presentation follows:
