Kieni Forest Fieldwork Expedition
A team from DSAIL in collaboration with the Institute of Geomatics, GIS and Remote Sensing (IGGRES)
of Dedan
Kimathi University of Technology undertook a data collection exercise in Kieni forest located in
Kiambu County, Kenya.
The exercise aimed at collecting aerial and terrestrial images for use in estimating the biophysical
parameters of trees in a recently replanted section of the forest. The parameters will be extracted
using
stereoscopic
computer vision technology developed by the DSAIL team...

In recent years, climate change and catchment degradation have disrupted the natural flow of rivers,
affecting water
availability for various ecosystems. To understand and measure these effects, water level monitoring
is essential.
At DSAIL, Jason has developed a Low cost, LoRa based river water level
data acquisition
system that uses outlier
detection and predictive machine learning models to ensure high-quality data.
His
journal
, published in
HardwareX, describes this work.

Reflection of Electric Signals in Conductors
An electric signal travels in a conductor at the same speed as light in space.
An electric signal travelling down an electric cable gets reflected wholly or partially when it
encounters impedance
discontinuities in the cable.
To explain how impedance discontinuities, cause reflection of an incident signal, let's state some
laws and theorems...
