Tech Team

This year, the tech subteam will be working on a continuous temperature probe for Cayuga Lake. We are building a device that can monitor temperature across different lake strata, and will also include depth, salinity, light, and pollutant sensors to provide a comprehensive dataset of lake conditions. Once complete, this project will help further GeoData research on HABs (Harmful Algae Blooms) that form in Cayuga Lake and help us to understand the specific conditions in which they form. We will also be able to use the data collected to monitor and understand how lake conditions are affected by the changing local climate.
