SPEAKER: Phil Bresnahan PhD, Research Engineer at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Director of the Scripps Makerspace.
TOPIC: The development of CO2 system sensors, especially for mobile platforms and citizen science programs. The Scripps Makerspace is designed to serve both education and research communities at Scripps and to enable rapid prototyping and testing in a variety of pressure chambers, test tanks, and calibration facilities. As the Head of Technology for the Smartfin Project, Bresnahan is developing a suite of tools for the collection of coastal oceanographic data from surfboards and standup paddleboards in order to fill in gaps between moored sensors and field surveys and to inspire coastal communities to become better stewards of their environment. Bresnahan has worked to get communities stoked on science throughout his career, from outreach with local schools and community groups to working with surfers-turned-citizen scientists.
