Sensor Data Evaluation

Our work in this area focuses on evaluation of how the use of sensors that measure a limited sub-set of water quality parameters will affect overall speciation predictions for aquatic systems. Since chemical speciation plays a dominant role in the reactivity and toxicity of compounds in the environment, this analysis has direct implications for decision-making from environmental data. This work has broad impacts on the design and implementation of sensor networks that will monitor the health of aquatic environments.
