Environmental Research
Questions, indicators, sampling assumptions, interpretation, and source reading.
The SPF application lists mechanical, circuit, software, assembly, and project leads. Publicly, we group those roles by how they support water observation and learning.
Platform development supports the water-sustainability mission; it is not the whole identity.
Questions, indicators, sampling assumptions, interpretation, and source reading.
Maps, charts, sensor data flow, and legible public communication.
Testing protocols, assembly support, site readiness, and records.
Website articles, public explanations, reports, and handoff archive.
Mechanical design, electronics, software, and integration.
Names and responsibilities are based on the Sustainable Projects Fund application.
Primary project lead
I want AquaWorks to make environmental data useful for student learning and campus sustainability conversations.
Secondary project lead
A careful prototype should leave future teams with decisions, data, and limits they can trust.
Mechanical design
The platform has to be repairable and understandable, not just functional once.
Software
Spatial data should help people ask better questions about water.
Circuit design
Reliable readings start with disciplined hardware integration.
Circuit integration
A field platform needs clear electrical decisions and clear documentation.
Mechanical assembly
The best prototype is one the next team can inspect and improve.
Mechanical assembly
Physical design should support maintenance, not hide it.
Sustainability work is interdisciplinary: environmental context, data, communication, engineering, and documentation all matter.
