The MacGyver Session: The Place for Novel, Exciting, Self-Made, Hacked, or Improved Sensors and Software Solutions to Understand Space Weather
Session ID#: 157521
Session Description:
This 3rd edition of the MacGyver session focuses on the interdisciplinary applications of Space Weather across space physics and aeronomy. All geoscientists including students, citizen scientists, hams, and artists are invited to present (1) new sensor systems, using technologies in novel or unintended ways; (2) new software, algorithms, data storage or transmission solutions sending data from the field and any other nifty approach; (3) started initiatives that facilitate the creation and sharing of novel sensors, open source code and data, and software systems.
Connected a smartphone sensor to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi? 3D printed a magnetosphere model or electrostatic analyzer? Show it! New methods in space physics, aeronomy, planetary, and atmospheric electricity are all welcome. Bring prototypes and demonstrations. We credit Hydrology for pioneering this idea. This session is co-sponsored by PSWS, the working group on Personal Space Weather Stations under the NSF DASI initiative.
