Dear LTER Information Managers,

The weekly NCEAS Roundtable may be of particular interest to some of you.
It's coming up fast (Thursday at 12:15 PDT), but we are streaming it anyway

*Shah Selbe* is an engineer and conservation technologist who works with
communities, NGOs, and developing countries to identify and deploy
technologies that can help with their greatest conservation challenges. His
projects have integrated crowdsourcing, smartphone apps, drones, satellite
data, and sensors to address such conservation issues as illegal poaching
and the monitoring of protected areas. He founded a conservation technology
makerspace and prototyping lab, Conservify, which uses open source
technology to empower local communities to change our planet’s future. He
has built and deployed low-cost conservation drones for coastal monitoring,
open source environmental monitoring sensor networks in the Okavango Delta,
acoustic monitoring buoys in the Pacific, and more. Selbe is a National
Geographic Society Fellow, New England Aquarium Ocean Conservation Fellow,
and PopTech Social Innovation Fellow. He is developing an open source
hardware and web open science platform called FieldKit (fieldkit.org) that
will help researchers, students, and explorers share live environmental and
field data on an interactive site. He is building an extensive library of
open source sensor systems that can be used in science and conservation
research. Before becoming a conservation technologist, Selbe spent 10 years
as a rocket scientist building and launching satellites with Boeing.
