Fast Limnological Automated Measurements - 'the FLAMe'

​The FLAMe is a mobile sampling platform designed to measure surface conditions across individual rivers and lakes. We leverage traditional sensor technology with a global positioning system (GPS) to produce high resolution maps of surface water chemistry. Using these maps, we can identify point source locations, infer processing rates, and produce distributions of surface water conditions. All of which lead to an improved understanding of our lakes and rivers. This project was funded by the University of Wisconsin - Madison and U.S. Geological Survey.
