Sensors - Data a click away

June 3rd, 2010

(PhysOrg.com) -- With a network of more than 5,000 sensors that monitor weather conditions, seismic activity, traffic, bacteria on beaches, water levels and much more, Sensorpedia is a significant resource that continues to expand.

Sensorpedia, developed three years ago by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Bryan Gorman and David Resseguie, connects first responders, individuals and communities with online sensor data in the United States and beyond.

"Sensorpedia combines the best of Facebook and YouTube and continues to expand and evolve to meet the demands and needs of users," Resseguie said. Sneak peeks of Sensorpedia, which is in beta testing, are available at www.sensorpedia.com .

Funding for Sensorpedia is provided by the Department of Homeland Security-sponsored Southeast Region Research Initiative.
