Come support Dr. Miller’s Honors Climate Change class as we unveil our project on Tuesday, April 21st from 9:35am – 12:00pm on the third floor of the new Science and Engineering Hall! We are a team of nine students who are continuing an effort launched in 2012 to deploy greenhouse gas sensors throughout the DC area. We seek to display the information gathered in an easily-understandable visual, to help depict exactly what is happening in our local community. Our project is to measure CO2 levels in the GW community using raspberry pi sensors, compare those CO2 levels to readings from the DC metro area, and discover the impact of our actions by comparing our data with the global CO2 baseline (Mauna Loa).
Our open-house is open to all students and faculty who would like to learn more about the human impact on our changing global climate and what the consequences of that are. We will be showcasing our lighthouse sensor (shaped after the Washington Monument!) which will help viewers to understand what the CO2 reading in the Foggy Bottom area is, and whether or not we are moving in a more eco-friendly direction as a community.
Please check out our class website, 161.253.108.106 (yes, that number will work in your search bar!) for more information about our project. Refreshments will be served at our event. We hope to see you there!
