A new center for sensor research at Boise State University will provide opportunities for collaboration and support for university scientists and engineers who are pursuing a broad range of funded projects, from studying air quality during inversions in the Treasure Valley to using ground penetrating radar to study Arctic stream channels.
The Center for Environmental Sensing at Boise State was recently approved by the State Board of Education, and will begin operations this fall under the direction of Boise State civil engineering professor Molly Gribb.
“There are a growing number of research projects at Boise State that involve sensors, including projects in the environmental sciences, health sciences, engineering, chemistry, physics and geophysics,” Gribb said. “The Center for Environmental Sensing will allow us to more easily share information, use our laboratories more efficiently and increase our visibility.” |
