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.

Despite media reports telling us that plastics last forever, from a museum and conservation perspective, they are particularly sensitive materials that are vulnerable to slight fluctuations in environmental conditions.

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.
