Professor Sally Ng will lead a $12 million initiative funded by the National Science Foundation to provide long-term measurements of the properties of aerosols.
Randall Mathews and Russ Clark are co-leads of the Smart Sea Level Sensors (SSLS) team, together with Georgia Tech’s Dr. Kim Cobb and the City of Savannah Office of Sustainability director Nick Deffley. The team just published a dashboard that allows for real-time flood visualization to aid in emergency planning and response in Chatham County.
The dashboard draws data from a growing network of 52 internet-enabled sea level sensors installed near waterways and bridges within Chatham County. Designed to use mostly off-the-shelf parts and approximately the size of a shoebox, the sensors were assembled through a partnership with local students and community groups, including the Harambee House, a Savannah-area organization that works with at-risk communities to build capacity around resolving social, economic, and environmental issues.
