About the project

Research staff from 12 reserves assessed sensor performance by comparing field and laboratory sensor measurements to concentrations of chlorophyll extracted from water samples. After identifying environmental factors that could interfere with sensor measurements, team members developed protocols for correcting the new data streams, calibrating sensors, and managing data. The team facilitated collaboration by creating an interactive dashboard allowing everyone to visualize and contextualize results across reserves.

About this resource

During the Spring Conference of the Southeastern Estuarine Research Society in March 2022, the project team gave a presentation to roughly 100 attendees on the status of the project.
