Tinytag from Gemini Data Loggers: robust monitoring

Baker Ruskinn manufactures and markets medical incubated workstations which mimic the physiological conditions found inside the human body. The workstations regulate temperature, humidity and gas levels to simulate bodily environments, such as those existing within the heart, lungs, kidney or brain.

As our climate changes, rising temperatures are having untold effects on the Earth’s ecosystems. A team of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have used Tinytag data loggers to investigate how increasing temperatures in maritime Antarctica could impact the growth of a decomposer fungus that inhabits Antarctic soil.

In the UK, architects and engineers optimise building design to ensure that buildings are kept warm during the cold months. When British architects Andy Simmonds and Adele Mills of Simmonds Mills Architects were asked to design new housing and educational facilities for the Tanzanian Children’s Eco Village (run by UK based NGO, Islamic Help), they, alongside energy consultant Alan Clarke, came across the new challenge of optimising buildings for cooling in the year-round warm climate of Tanzania.
