The intention of this project is to measure atmospheric composition and properties by attaching sensors to an unmanned aerial system (UAS). One of those sensors is a five hole probe, capable of measuring 3-dimensional air ...

With technological advances in unmanned vehicles ramping up, research that used to cost a fortune is becoming relatively cheap and less time consuming. This project is aimed toward incorporating atmospheric sensors into a ...

Concern has arisen about levels of silica in ambient particles near frac sand mines. In order to assess these levels of silica, we have adopted an XRD analysis to test real air samples. Calibrations were constructed with ...

Analyzing atmospheric conditions in situ using manned airplanes has historically been effective and limiting. With the growing usage of UAS, this project is aimed at incorporating atmospheric sensors into a UAS as a viable, ...

In the last 10 years, hydro fracturing has completely transformed the sand mining industry. In Wisconsin, the nation’s leading sand producer, the number of industrial sand facilities has grown from just 8 in 20081 to 129 ...

The 2017 Lake Michigan Ozone Study (LMOS) was a collaborative, multi-agency field campaign that ran May 22, 2017, through June 22, 2017, in eastern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois. The UW-Eau Claire mobile platform ...

An analytical chemistry investigation using a Microwave Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrophotometer (MP-AES), this project aims to improve monitoring techniques pertinent to lead (Pb) contamination in drinking water. ...

The goal of this project is to integrate sensors onto an unmanned aerial system (UAS) to better profile meteorology and composition of the atmosphere. Specifically, we have focused on a five-hole probe with the intent of ...

There are still wide-spread sales of lead-based paint across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. Lead exposure accounted for almost half a million deaths in 2016, which is relatively the same as deaths due to tobacco ...

The goal of this project was to integrate multiple sensors onto an unmanned aerial system (UAS) to profile meteorology and composition of the atmosphere. These sensors include a POM, a five-hole probe, and an iMet. These ...
