(rest day)
Up in Bendigo today for a meeting about what sounds like an interesting project, being led by the council with RMIT and La Trobe University. They're looking at deploying a very large number of temperature and humidity sensors (potentially up to 100) through Bendigo for an urban heat mapping study - their main interest is in determining how much of a cooling influence vegetation has on hot days (and which areas would benefit most from more of it), but Bendigo's topography is just complex enough that I think some very interesting things would be happening with minimum temperatures, too.
They're looking to do quite a bit of community engagements, including looking for people willing to host sites on their property - I might well be making use of my Bendigo contacts list for this. An already impressive bit of community engagement is that the amateur radio community are setting up a communications network for them (also cool is that the reception areas for these communications points are being checked, street by street, by putting instruments on the council's garbage trucks).
