Welcome to CTEMPs

CTEMPs provides field-deployable high-precision fiber optic temperature and acoustic measurement systems, Openly Published Environmental Sensors , and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) . User fees are very low, and experiment design, installation, and data analysis is supported by a staff of scientists. Instruments are available now, obtained rapidly through an online request form.  All non-commercial projects for discovery and education are welcome.

CTEMPs offers a series of courses to train researchers and students on the leading edge of distributed sensing and UAS.

CTEMPs has developed a suite of policies on instrument accessibility and data sharing in concert with its Advisory Board and CUAHSI.

Are you interested in using new and emerging environmental sensing technologies such as fiber optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS), distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) or uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS)? The Center for Transformative Environmental Monitoring Programs (CTEMPs) can help you get started! We offer hands-on training, guidance on experimental design and analysis, access to test sites for experiment de-risking, and a pilot study program to help new investigators get started at low cost. Join the CTEMPs leadership team at one of our upcoming office hours to talk to us about how CTEMPs can support your scientific goals:
