Environmental Applications. Electronics and Climate Studies
Description
Although the encroachment of technology into the natural world is always a legitimate concern, it is also worth examining the many ways in which electronic systems help improve environmental research as well as weather and climate monitoring. This program features two case studies that illustrate the helpful roles electronics can play in life science and meteorology. An in-depth look at the Eden Project in Cornwall, England, focuses on the control measures needed to maintain the correct atmospheric conditions within a complex of giant greenhouses. The second case study looks at how electronic controls can be used in flood warning systems and how measures can be taken to control floodwaters and hence protect the environment from flood damage.
