Environmental Monitoring

The Environmental Monitoring exhibit provides a central conduit between Stennis and the outside environment. Live data feeds from all parts of the
globe—particularly the Gulf Coast region and the immediate surroundings at Stennis—are used by visitors to explore their environment while also learning about the role of data collection in scientific research.

At the Environmental Monitoring exhibit, a visitor:

• Learns how scientists collect and use data.
• Learns about the extraordinary amount and diversity of data that scientists collect and use in their research.
• Selects a specific type of data (e.g., air quality, ocean buoy measurements, water quality) for collection.
• Uses on-screen controls to locate and select a data-collection site.
• Accesses live environmental data from that site.
