Home / Media Library / An optical sensor used to measure rainfall (Hydreon)
Optical sensors like this, which is about the size of a tennis ball, are installed in many modern cars to automate wipers. The sensor uses a system of infrared beams that detects when drops of rain are on the surface of the device. Each sensor reading corresponds to a specific amount of water, with more frequent readings corresponding to more intense rainfall.

Harry Vereecken has also been instrumental in strengthening the observational data base of the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. He masterminded the TERENO (Terrestrial environmental observatories) initiative, a blueprint for the establishment of large-scale European and worldwide infrastructures for ecological, critical zone and global climate research.

Yes Do you need permissions to access the location? No Description From Imaggeo.egu.eu: http://imaggeo.egu.eu/view/1529/. The Berca mud volcano reserve in Romania has excellent examples of how mud can erupt from release of natural gases below ground. Geographic location 26.7048 E, 45.3133 N Go back
Home / Media Library / George VI Sound
George VI Ice Shelf, occupying the sound between the English coast of the southern Antarctic Peninsula and Alexander Island. This study highlights the importance of this ice shelf for regulating the flow of inland ice in the southern peninsula, and therefore for global sea-level rise.
Home / Media Library / Larsen C rift
Rift propagation along the Larsen C Ice Shelf. This rift, which led to the calving of an iceberg twice the size of Luxembourg last year, raised questions about the future stability of Larsen C Ice Shelf in a warming world.
