CrowdHydrology sources water level data from public's text messages
Chris Lowry’s idea was simple: set up staff gauges on local streams and leave a sign requesting passersby read the water level and text the data to a phone number. Data from text messages would be recorded and then posted to a website for public use. It was the beginning of CrowdHydrology , a crowdsourcing project that recently gained U.S. Geological Survey support for expansion into several Midwest states. Though it won’t generate as much data as official USGS stream gauges, the project will generate data points that supplement those lost from official gauges shut down following federal budget cuts. Lowry, an assistant professor of geology at the University at Buffalo, set up eight pilot sites in New York in 2011 in an attempt to crowdsource water level data.

Satellite groundwater measurements highlight drought, flood risks
A group of researchers from the University of California, Irvine are using gravity-measuring satellites to measure groundwater levels across the U.S., Popular Science reports . The team bases their measurements on data collected by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites. Data maps show that the Northern U.S. is getting wetter, priming it for more flooding, and the Southern U.S. is getting drier. The researchers say they can see a shift in groundwater levels from the current drought in the west, based on shifting of the Earth’s mass. Data collected by the satellite is too coarse to make local predictions and is limited in accuracy to 125,000 square mile swaths of land or larger.

Coe College Wilderness Field Station Features Education, ARUs and Avian Research
If someone speaks to Jesse Ellis, Assistant Professor of Biology at Coe College and Director of the Wilderness Field Station, they might get interrupted; by a blue-headed vireo. “Bird songs are a big part of data gathering for research here,” says Ellis. “We use automated recording units (ARUs) to record wilderness sounds, especially sounds made by birds and frogs.” The Wilderness Field Station is a teaching-oriented facility. “In addition to our annual summer classes, we also conduct bird studies here including bird counts in transects, and researchers from other colleges come here to do multiple lake samplings,” Ellis adds.
