Article Synopsis
- Recent observations indicate that shrubs in the Arctic tundra are expanding, which is believed to affect permafrost warming.
- Research from Bylot Island shows that low shrubs can actually cool the ground during winter, resulting in a temperature decrease of 1.21°C, despite having more insulating snowpack.
- In spring, the warming effect reverses as shrub branches absorb heat, highlighting the importance of including these thermal dynamics in climate models to better predict permafrost greenhouse gas emissions.
The EcoChip: A Wireless Multi-Sensor Platform for Comprehensive Environmental Monitoring.
IEEE Trans Biomed Circuits Syst
December 2018
This paper presents the EcoChip, a new system based on the state-of-the-art electro-chemical impedance (EIS) technologies allowing the growth of single strain organisms isolated from northern habitats. This portable system is a complete and autonomous wireless platform designed to monitor and cultivate microorganisms directly sampled from their natural environment, particularly from harsh northern environments. Using 96-well plates, the EcoChip can be used in the field for real-time monitoring of bacterial growth.
