What Does Blue CoLab Do?
Fall ’22 Blue CoLab Team.
Both a program and a course like no other, Seidenberg School’s Blue CoLab conducts training and research in real-time environmental monitoring technologies on Pleasantville’s Choate Pond, and in our data and technology labs. We deploy and operate water and atmospheric sensing instruments to understand better human and natural impacts — on our research pond, the rivers it feeds, and, eventually the planet’s oceans.
Where can I see students’ work?
Ada monitoring station on Choate Pond
If you spied Ada, the solar-powered, orange monitoring station on Choate Pond, you’ve already seen a bit of our work. Its sensors measure and transmit water quality data to our Blue CoLab server every 15 minutes. Our team of students, staff and faculty work year-round interpreting the data, developing new methods for understanding and presenting them, and determining how the Pace community affects the surrounding watershed.
