Using Data to Improve Ecological Forecasts part of Project EDDIE:Teaching Materials:Modules
How can we use data to improve ecological forecasts? To be useful for management, ecological forecasts need to be both accurate enough for managers to be able to rely on them for decision-making and include a ...

Exploring Tradeoffs in Water Quality Management Using Environmental Data part of Project EDDIE:Teaching Materials:Modules
Many water management decisions come with tradeoffs. One important example of such a decision is the use of chlorine in the drinking water treatment process. Chlorination is an important disinfection step in water ...

Time Series Modeling and Prediction of Environmental Data part of Project EDDIE:Teaching Materials:Modules
Advances in environmental sensor technology in recent decades are enabling the collection of environmental data at high temporal frequencies (e.g., every 10 minutes) across many ecosystems. These time series of ...

Using High-Frequency Data to Manage Water Quality part of Project EDDIE:Teaching Materials:Modules
In recent decades, there have been substantial improvements in our ability to monitor water quality in real time using sensors that measure variables at a high frequency (every few minutes). In this module, ...
