Real-Time Environmental Monitoring

Both the textbook and lab manual introduce engineering students to the fundamentals and applications of real-time environmental monitoring based on electronic sensors, instruments, systems, and software that allow continuous, long-term ecological and environmental data collection. Tested in classrooms by the author, the second edition includes applications with state-of-the-art sensor technology and programs such as R, Python, Arduino, and SQL. Written to help both students and instructors in engineering better understand how to use and design a variety of sensors and build systems and databases when monitoring different environments such as soil, water, and air.
