Water Quality Monitoring the High Tech Way: New Technologies for Water Quality Monitoring |
| |
The Hawaii Ocean Observing System's (HiOOS) Near Shore Sensor Group's representative, Mr. Ross Timmerman, will share the latest approaches
(instrumentation) to water quality monitoring including Autonomous
Underwater Vessels (AUVs). He will describe the study area, the
challenges and future solutions to problems encountered.
The Hawaii Ocean Observing System is one part of a national network of observation systems currently being put in place in the U.S., territories and affiliated states. Learn how the deployment of these systems will benefit our understanding of ocean related phenomena. Catalyst projects include: 1) Coastal ocean conditions and forecast, 2) Coastal hazards and vulnerability, 3) Automated water quality sensing, and 4) Marine ecosystem monitoring |

"Microbial Water Quality Monitoring" |
| |
Join us for Guest Presenter Dr. Grieg Steward's Department of Oceanography, University of Hawaii who will be discussing his research on microbial water quality monitoring.
Dr. Steward's research interests include: the ecology and diversity of marine microbes, specifically how viruses and bacteria play a role in the marine environment and human health. Dr. Steward has been featured in the Star-Bulletin, the Honolulu Advertiser and on KHNL's Earth and Sea project for the important research he has done on Vibrio. Past Vibrio research has taken Dr Steward to New Orleans following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (fall 2005) and he continues to study Vibrio in Hawaii in the Ala Wai Canal on Oahu. |
