Please join us for a Webinar on Friday, January 27, 2012 from 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM EST to learn more about what it takes to design, build, deploy, maintain, and manage state-of-the-art monitoring buoys that are currently deployed around the Great Lakes. Nearshore monitoring buoys are a relatively cost-effective way to provide real-time data on marine conditions such as water temperature, wind speed, and wave height via the internet. The webinar is directed at individuals, organizations, companies, local governments, and others that are interested in this technology. Speakers include industry and research professionals that have worked with these sophisticated, yet rugged, reliable, and mobile observing platforms. A link to register for the webinar is provided in the invitation below. The attached flyer includes the list of presenters. If you cannot attend the webinar, but would like to view the presentations at a later date please register and we will send you the information.
