In the news: Glaser's sensor class at UC Botanical Garden

Featured Faculty: Steven D. Glaser

Professor Steve Glaser's class, CE 271: Elastic Signal Interpretation for Engineering Material Characterization, is helping the UC Botanical Garden to monitor humidity and extreme temperatures via five wireless sensor stations recently installed at the Strawberry Canyon site.

The sensors—located in areas of chaparral, Mexican/Central American plantings, the Asian area, a region devoted to plants from eastern North America and a research section near the Mediterranean Area—are designed to measure temperature, humidity, soil water content and solar radiation.
