Stroud Water Research Center maintains an open source ecosystem of hardware, code, and web services for environmental measurement and monitoring. Most relevant to the ESIP EnviroSensing Cluster are EnviroDIY and Monitor My Watershed. EnviroDIY is an open source
hardware initiative that provides training, online resources, and promotes peer-to-peer exchange regarding data logger programming, sensor integration, and system deployment. Monitor My Watershed Data Sharing Portal is an open source web app for sharing and
visualizing data submitted from remote devices via HTTP POST request. EnviroDIY and Monitor My Watershed welcome discussion and use with any type of data logger, although the Mayfly Data Logger (designed and sold by the Stroud Center) offers a consistent product
for the Stroud Center’s science, education, and training efforts. Both initiatives evolved from NSF, EPA, and William Penn Foundation investments over the past decade, and now serve a diverse community of academic, non-profit, agency, and private sector scientists.

Scott Ensign is the Vice President, Assistant Director, and Research Scientist at Stroud Water Research Center, a not-for-profit water science center in Southeastern Pennsylvania. In addition to his administrative roles at the Stroud Center, Dr. Ensign coordinates
strategy and operations of EnviroDIY and Monitor My Watershed (two tools in the Stroud Center's WikiWatershed.org toolkit). He also leads research projects at the Stroud Center on estuarine ecology, river ecosystem ecology, and citizen science. He is the former
co-founder of Aquatic Analysis and Consulting, LLC and Planktos Instruments, LLC; he received his Ph.D. and M.S. in ecology from UNC Chapel Hill before serving as a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow at USGS in Reston, VA (a complete biography is available here:
