Fibre optics for cheap, rapid environment sensors
Professor Tanya Monro from University of Adelaide presented on “Application of optical fibres to environmental montoring” (4.3MB) at the recent Living Laboratories workshop on Emerging Technologies in Environmental Monitoring, on 12 February 2008. 75 people from industry, government and research organisations attended to hear about and explore some of the emerging new technologies in ICT, genetics and integration tools that could be used in environmental monitoring.
Tanya presented some really new technologies (really new – perhaps weeks old) in fibre optics capability that have come out of her lab. These new technologies could allow detection of a wide range of biological and chemical properties in the environment, using very cheap sensors that could give immediate readings. The implications for the cost of extent of environmental montioring and in natural resource management are profound.
Living Laboratories is sponsored by ICE WaRM and DWLBC. This particular workshop was also supported by the Water Industry Alliance and Solution City.
