In this short video, Professor Elie Bou-Zeid shows how he is
using the Princeton campus as a base to study how local
environments affect and are affected by the global climate. Seen
here, Bou-Zeid stands in front of a meteorological station that
is part of the wireless sensor network deployed across campus to
monitor the microclimate of Princeton. Video stills courtesy of

microclimate Posted July 28, 2011; 12:00 p.m. In mapping the
microclimate of Princeton's campus, Elie Bou-Zeid, an assistant
professor of civil and environmental engineering, hopes to
better understand how local environments affect the global
climate -- and vice versa. In this video excerpt of a full-
length video produced by the School of Engineering and Applied
Science Bou-Zeid describes his research and his method for
collecting data. So far he has placed a dozen sensing nodes
across campus to gather data on energy, water and carbon that
ultimately will lead to a more complete un
