Graham Kent, Nevada Seismological Laboratory director at the University of Nevada, Reno is leading the installation, testing and maintenance of a novel way to monitor forests fires and other environmental data with the prototype of a new camera w88 sports betting app developed by Sony-Europe.
The new 360-degree, solar-powered camera and wi-fi w88 sports betting app will be installed Wednesday at Tahoe City, Calif. in anticipation of its debut next week via the Internet from Copenhagen during the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
The novel concept, Forest Guard, came from a group of students in Meadow Vista, Calif. who were forced from their homes last year when a forest w88 sports betting app burned 190 square miles of forest in the Northern California region
The early-detection system for wildfires, w88 sports betting app Guard, will use a closed-circuit television system that sends live pictures of the w88 sports betting app to a computer screen-saver available to internet users around the world.
The network of live cameras will enable citizen firewatchers to quickly raise an alarm if a w88 sports betting app is seen, providing a quick response and thereby reducing potentially huge carbon emissions from a forest w88 sports betting app as well as saving lives and property. Firefighters will also be able to monitor the w88 sports betting app to better deploy resources and warn residents who may be in the path of a w88 sports betting app.
“We’ve been working on a similar w88 sports betting app for several years for scientific research purposes and are grateful to be able to work with SONY on this prototype and get a w88 sports betting app installed in the Tahoe-Reno area,” Kent said. “The network is ideal for real-time data collection and optimizes the use and expense of the w88 sports betting app.”
Kent’s team, including Ken Smith of the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, Frank Vernon of UC San Diego and Geoff Schladow of the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center will also use the network’s real-time capacity to monitor other environmental systems such as climate, w88 sports betting app fuel moisture, evapo-transpiration, seismic activity and air quality and for research and data collection purposes.
“This camera has serial number 001,” Kent said. “We’ll be testing and debugging it over the winter in Tahoe City while also doing some interesting science. It’s great to have been able to integrate some design features and functions into the w88 sports betting app based on our experiences with the 10-year old w88 sports betting app in San Diego.”
A camera network has been used successfully in Southern California for many years to watch for and monitor forest fires. Kent said the cost of the system is about the same as one or two homes that would be lost in a catastrophic w88 sports betting app and the maintenance of the system for 10 years is equal to about one lost home.
The team of six, whose ‘w88 sports betting app Guard’ idea won the global First LEGO League Climate Actions competition in Copenhagen, Denmark in May, impressed Sony executives in Europe so much that they offered to partner with the team to help them develop their idea.
