Are you interested in sharing and developing best practices for deploying and calibrating environmental sensors, cleaning and analyzing high-frequency data, and sharing high-frequency data and results from sensors? We invite scientists across all career stages, geographic locations, & ecosystem types to join us in an experiment to create open community & conversations among sensor users on Slack: sensorscience.slack.com. The following link should work for anyone to join for free: join Sensors on slack. Contact Erin Hotchkiss (ehotchkiss[at]vt[dot]edu) if you encounter problems when trying to join.

This group was established as part of a 2019 AGU special session "Scientific surprises from sensors: What have we learned about ecosystem science from the advancement of in situ sensors?" convened by Andrew Robison, Erin Hotchkiss, & Chris Whitney on Friday 13 December (Posters & Talks). Presenting authors and titles of talks:

• Matthew J. Cohen - On Becoming a Sensor Connoisseur: Lessons on Discriminating When High Frequency Data Are Desirable

• Joanna Blaszczak - Patterns and drivers of global riverine hypoxia

• William H. McDowell - Aquatic Sensors Reveal Ongoing Changes in Stream Nitrate Dynamics in a Tropical Montane Forest

• Catherine Chamberlin - Diel Nitrate Regimes of Streams and Rivers; Using High-Frequency Data to Find Patterns at the 24-Hour Scale

• Tamara Harms - Flow variation and the biogeochemistry of desert streams

• Joseph R. Roscioli - Exploring Fast Nitrogen, Carbon, and VOC Dynamics During Simulated Drought and Rewetting Events

• Matthew Herman Long - Novel Insights from High-frequency, In-situ Primary Productivity and Physical Exchange Rates in a Seagrass-dominated Coastal Ecosystem

• Alireza Merikhi - Cryptic high recycling of organic matter in coral carbonate sands revealed by aquatic eddy covariance
