Environmental data often becomes detached from the conditions of its collection. Our field practice treats instruments, maintenance, local knowledge, and interpretation as one research system.
We work with low-power acoustic and chemical sensing, participatory annotation, and seasonal sampling. Instruments are designed to be repaired on site and to make uncertainty visible in the resulting records.
Working in place
Current studies follow wetland edges and urban soils across several seasonal cycles. We pair continuous sensing with deliberate gaps for observation, calibration, and conversations with the people who care for these sites.
