#WaterWednesday 📸 What a beautiful day for sampling #LakeErie! Pictured are @mtri_mtu's N. Arrondale deploying the fluoroprobe & #CIGLR's K. McCabe deploying the IOP cage (Inherent Optical Properties, measures scattering/absorption characteristics of water & constituents).🌊

@mtri_mtu, @mturesearch demonstrates UAS applications for MDOT in traffic monitoring, bridge inspection, construction monitoring, and design survey: michigan.gov/mdot/-/media/P…

MTRI researchers (Billmire, Carter, Thelen, and French) co-authored a recently released article with researchers at UMich and EPA on "Using wildland fire smoke modeling data in gerontological health research (California, 2007–2018)" doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

TrackerDLN, developed by @mtri_mtu & IndianaU with first responder partner @CoronaFireDept, is a FRST Challenge Phase 1 Prize Winner! Teams in @FRSTChallenge are working to create life-saving tech to provide precise locations of #firstresponders in structures. @NIST @mtu_research

MTRI has joined the Michigan Nature Association & Michigan Vernal Pools Partnership in the release of a video exploring an incredibly unique natural feature. “Ephemeral” dives into the world of vernal pools with the experts who know them best. @mturesearch mivernalpools.com/news/article/N…

William Buller of MTRI is on the Sensor Perception Panel for the NIST Event discussing: Standards and Performance Metrics for On-Road Autonomous Vehicles, March 8-9.#autonomousvehicles #standards @mturesearch nist.gov/news-events/ev…

What do fairy shrimp, self-driving electric vehicles & soil infiltrometers all have in common? @mtri_mtu Read more in Michigan Tech Magazine about these student research projects from @mtu_engineering @MTUcfres @MTU_CSA #research #fieldwork #RemoteSensing mtu.edu/magazine/2021/…

Dr. Bourgeau-Chavez is leading a team of scientists at MTRI as part of a binational group called GLARS, developing a method of tracking the health of Great Lakes wetlands from space and was recently featured by the IJC. @mturesearch @IJCsharedwaters ijc.org/en/tracking-we…

MTRI’s team BARCS has qualified for the Prize Round of DARPAs Subterranean Challenge Virtual track. They will compete for $1.5M in prizes. Results and awards will be announced on Sept. 24! @mturesearch darpa.mil/news-events/20…

Dr. Nancy French’s (MTRI) research is featured in a @nytimes story about the smoke event that impacted much of the U.S. on Tuesday from extensive western U.S. fires and an outbreak of smaller fires in Ontario, Canada. @mturesearch nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Smoke from wildfires burning in the western U.S. and Canada stretched across the continent, covering eastern skies in a thick haze. See how it traveled thousands of miles. nyti.ms/3BixznM

Congrats to Drs. Adam Webb (MTRI), Michael Roggemann (MTU), and Matthew Whiteley (MZA), whose manuscript "Atmospheric Turbulence Characterization through Multi-Frame Blind Deconvolution" was highlighted as an Applied Optics Editors Pick. #mturesearch Osapublishing.org/AO/abstract.cf…

A favorite #LeadWithInfrastructure project: Meet the crew, both humans and drones, that remotely assess #bridge decks @mtri_mtu @cbinaa to keep #Michigan drivers & road crews safe. #LeadWithInfrastructure #Roads #NationalInfrastructureWeek @United4Infra mtu.edu/news/stories/2…

MTRI researchers Colin Brooks, Charlotte Weinstein, Andrew Poley, and Laura Bourgeau-Chavez have published a new article on using UAVs for identifying the extent of invasive Phragmites @mturesearch mdpi.com/2072-4292/13/1…

Julie Carter, intern at MTRI, is continuing her research on health and consequences of climate change related to wildland fire at MTRI working with Dr. Nancy French @mturesearch @umichsph Link to the paper doi.org/10.1007/s13412…

MTU/MTRI field teams were out verifying #VernalPools mapped from satellite radar and airborne Lidar data in Sleeping Bear National Park, finding Spotted Salamanders, Wood Frogs, Fairy Shrimp, & Blue Spotted Salamanders @mturesearch @NatlParkService #MichiganVernalPoolPartnership

Our applied @mturesearch on evaluating and implementing UAVs / drones into #MDOT operations has been featured: youtube.com/watch?v=OHKAHe…
