Workshop organized and led by Dr Taylor Smith (University of Potsdam, Germany), Dr Bodo Bookhagen (University of Potsdam, Germany) and Dr Shakil Regmi (South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences, Finland)
Workshop Goals: The workshop aimed to present lessons learned from installing and maintaining an environmental sensor network in the Trishuli. The workshop demonstrated how the sensors were built, installed, and what the data can be used for. There were practical exercises introducing the data, as well as a strong focus on linking local environmental data to satellite time series. The participants gained hands-on experience with open-source data processing tools, data visualization, and the design of open-source hardware.
All workshop materials can be found on github.
YouTube recordings are available here.
Detailed Workshop Schedule:
Day 1: Designing, building, and analysing in-situ sensor data in the Trishuli
- measuring high-fequency hydro-climatic data
- using GNSS data for water vapor estimation
- designing and building a low-cost river monitoring station
- collecting, transmitting, and prcessing high-frequency data
- pixel tracking for river velocity estimation
- combining sensor and satellite data for further analysis
Day 2: Contextualizing in-situ data with satellite remote sensing
- overview of satellite climate Data with focus on hydrologic and sediment flux data
- introduction to Google Earth Engine and extracting relevant data for study sites
- integrating watershed data and mapping climate trends
- creating visualizations and consistent reports
