Sustaining Hoosier Communities, Resilience: Hoosier National Forest Dark Sky Designation Project

Project abstract

Forest light pollution monitoring sensors are designed and prototyped for the Hoosier National Forest in a SICE service learning course, E314 Embedded Systems. Five sensors will be deployed by the class in the Spring 2019 semester. This proposal seeks funding to build 100 light sensors in 2 phases where 35 sensors will be continuously deployed in the Hoosier National Forest. Hourly data from the light sensors will be collected from Aug 2019 - May 2021. This system, sensors and data, will support the Hoosier National Forest’s effort to obtain International Dark Sky Park designation.
