Tinytag from Gemini Data Loggers: robust monitoring

South Georgia Museum opened in 1992 in Grytviken, an old whaling station on South Georgia, an island in the polar front of the Southern Atlantic. The Museum is housed in the former Whaling Station Manager’s Villa and is home to an exciting collection of items that tell the story of the cultural heritage and natural history of South Georgia. The Museum’s collections include exhibitions on discovery, sealing, whaling, surveying and expeditions, maritime and military history, natural history and Sir Ernest Shackleton, the 20th Century Antarctic explorer.

Passive House is a voluntary standard for energy efficiency in buildings. Buildings designed in accordance with Passive House standards typically have an ultra-low rate of energy usage, making them more environmentally-friendly than buildings that rely on active heating and cooling. For a new, domestic ‘Passive House’ in County Mayo, West of Ireland, temperature and relative humidity monitoring with a Tinytag data logger was crucial to understanding how the building performed in real, lived-in conditions.

Non-native species (also referred to as introduced species) are species which have been introduced to a new environment by human activity. Tinytag Aquatic 2 data loggers are used to monitor seawater temperatures to assess how temperatures affect non-native populations at Orkney, an archipelago off the coast of Scotland.
