Greetings,
We have a few remaining slots available in our upcoming Methods in
Environmental Data Acquisition short course, otherwise known as the Remote Data
Acquisition (RDA) Sensor Training Workshop
(https://unmsevilletafieldstation.wordpress.com/rda/
<https://unmsevilletafieldstation.wordpress.com/rda/>). This is a final call
for applications, which are now being processed on a first come, first served
basis. Applications will be closed when the course is full.
This intensive course will be held 3-9 June 2018 at the University of New
Mexico Sevilleta Field Station in beautiful central New Mexico. Participants
will be provided with a comprehensive and affordable introduction to the major
aspects of field-based environmental data acquisition with an emphasis on
hands-on learning. By using a combination of field demonstrations, lectures,
hands-on activities, and discussions, we will cover several topics fundamental
to the remote acquisition of environmental sensor data:
Basic electronics
Photovoltaic power for remote instrumentation
TCP/IP networking and Wi-Fi telemetry systems
Sensor theory and Campbell Scientific datalogger wiring and programming
This year’s course will cost $750, which covers lodging, meals, and shuttle
service to/from the Albuquerque airport. For an additional fee, students will
also have the opportunity to participate in one of two optional post-course
field trips on Saturday, June 9th, to enhance their overall experience.
The number of participants we will be able to accommodate is limited. While
preference will be given to technicians, graduate students, postdoctoral
associates, and early career faculty who demonstrate research needs in one or
more of these areas, anyone interested in the topic of remote environmental
sensor data acquisition is encouraged to apply.

trips, fees, and logistics, visit our website:

Thank you for your interest and please pass along to anyone you think would
benefit from this course.
