There are no workshops scheduled yet for 2025, but you can review past events and check in from time to time for new events under the Participate tab, https://www.envirodiy.org/envirodiy-events/.

If you sensor is in water that is deep enough so that ice doesn’t form around the sensor itself then you should be ok.  If ice forms around a sensor itself that can be a problem.  The Meter Group Hydros21 CTD sensors have pressure transducers that can break if ice forms around the sensor.  The new model CTD seems to have a pressure transducer th…[Read more]

John,

If you’ve created a MonMW account then log in to that account, go to the Bushkill site (https://monitormywatershed.org/sites/ULBC3S/), and click the “Follow” box in the upper right corner of the site page (circled in red on attached).  That should allow you to receive updates if/when the station stops transmitting.  Please let us know if y…[Read more]

@jlemontu-org, yes as @shicks pointed out you or your colleague can follow up on this on ODM2DataSharingPortal Github issues page.

This is a known issue and I did already post to github about it, but if you want to add more info you can go to that post:  https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/551

From Dave Funk, entomologist at the Stroud Center (https://stroudcenter.org/people/funk/):  “I’d be very surprised if there were any among the EPT’s–no structures I am aware of that might suggest either a source or sensor. It seems to me the most likely place to find sound communication in aquatic insects would be among (non-benthic) adult…[Read more]

@movingplaid, as far as I can tell this issue is still being addressed: https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/milestone/19

Thank you @aufdenkampe!  Very helpful and informative update.

Thanks Robert S. Jim @w3asa your mouse wheel must be broken. And as Robert S points out the x-axis can be scrolled on within the graph itself, just not on the axis or the range at the bottom.

Jim Moore (@w3asa), I wasn’t able to replicate your problem re the mouse scrolling.  I was able to expand and shrink the y-axis with my mouse wheel.  You can’t do this on the x-axis but I don’t think you’ve ever been able to do this on the x-axis.  Possibly your mouse wheel itself isn’t working(?)

I spoke to Jim Moore (@w3asa) today and he is going to write up a blog detailing his method for protecting wires from rodent damage (and maybe from people damage like Jake’s?).  But I don’t think this will help in situations like Christa’s.  Sorry Christa 🙁

How to deal with severe vandalism like this is a tough one.  Christa and I were di…[Read more]

@moore, yes Stroud Center is planning to upgrade all DRWI-associated EnviroDIY stations by the end of 2021 (all 2G will be gone by end of 2020).  @Hicks is investigating current issues presently.  Stay tuned for updates.

@zmalsberg, Christa Reeves was looking into this same type of issue (although simpler I think).  She received assistance from Adam Griggs with River Network.  You might contact Christa to see if she could assist or put you in touch with Adam.

Hi @vegansam!  We have not scheduled another one of these workshops yet.  This was a pilot of sorts (our first full monitoring station build workshop, as well as it being online).  You can check the Stroud Center events page (https://stroudcenter.org/events/) from time to time to see about new workshops that we’re offering.  If you want to ema…[Read more]

@lemon, Jim Moore (@moore) with Great Marsh Institute has had beaver damage at two of his stations. He has come up with some ways to deal with it.  Jim, would you mind responding to this thread with the same post that you recently made to the Delaware Basin Sensor Stations online group?
