Practicals and online modules/quizzes

This subject introduces the concept of sensors for measuring in our natural world. A variety of physical and chemical sensors will be considered and applied to marine, atmospheric, biological and soil/earth systems. Data acquisition and communication of sensors will be addressed along with the issues of uncertainties, sensitivity, selectivity, range, resolution etc. There will be a substantial experimental component to this subject that is partly discipline-based to give students application within their area of study
