This session, presented by Kevin Rose, will provide an overview of advanced aquatic sensors. The session will provide general information on a wide array of sensors. What types of sensors are available? What are the basic principles behind these sensor technologies? What are the limitations of these sensors and what are some typical sensor applications? Due to the broad use of sensors, sensor knowledge, and sensor applications, we will strive to make this session interactive amongst workshop participants.

In addition to this general overview of advanced aquatic sensors, Kevin will provide an introduction to GLEON, the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network. Kevin has been an active leader in GLEON, previously serving as the co-chair of the GLEON Graduate Student Association and now serving as an active member while a Post Doc at the Smithsonian Institution in Maryland, USA. For more information on GLEON, visit www.gleon.org. This talk and others were part of the Advanced Aquatic Sensors (AAS) Workshop funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and held at the University of Michigan Biological Station from September 12-13th, 2011.
