AGU conference poster for FieldKit’s FieldSchool program in the Amazon.

Members from the community and nonprofits work on assembly of FieldKit sensors on a table during a FieldSchool workshop.

A member of the FieldKit team demonstrates how to work with an weather station in a field in Leticia, Colombia.

Workshop attendees configure a FieldKit water quality station next to a pond before deployment.

If you’re at @agu.org #AGU24, come by my poster today at H33J-1056 to learn more about @fieldkit.bsky.social and our “FieldSchool in the Amazon: Bringing Community Environmental Monitoring to the Rainforest”

A group of people sit on a dock to deploy an environmental sensor in a lake in the Amazon basin.

I will be doing a poster on the Weds Dec 11th (13:40-17:30 EST) session for “H33J: Knowledge Cocreation in Hydrology and Biogeoscience Participatory and Citizen Science” on @fieldkit.bsky.social titled “FieldSchool in the Amazon: Bringing Community Environmental Monitoring to the Rainforest”

We recently assembled and shipped a few @fieldkit.bsky.social underwater sensors for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Each unit measures pH, conductivity, temperature, depth, and dissolved oxygen. They’re calibrated through the FieldKit.org app.

I really enjoyed that episode and have been following @fieldkit.bsky.social ever since. If you're ever looking for product help, I'd love to get involved (even pro bono) but live in Europe so would have to be remote

That is such a kind offer! Thank you!

I was lucky enough to be a guest on @ologies.bsky.social six years ago to talk about conservation technology. A lot has changed in the years since but if you would like to listen to that podcast, here it is (also anywhere you listen to podcasts): www.alieward.com/ologies/cons...

I created a #StarterPack for folks who work with technology in conservation and ecology. This is not an exhaustive list so please let me know if I forgot anyone or if you would like to be included! I am excited for this community to grow here! @wildlabsnet.bsky.social

The most incredible part about Bluesky is all the conservation/ecology folks on here. I’ve missed that so much from the Science Twitter days and Threads/Mastadon just never filled that void.

Hi everyone, we are very excited to join @bsky.app with high hopes that the science community here can one day be like what it was on the old app. We love talking about making environmental sensing more open and accessible to anyone trying to understand and monitor our changing planet.
