Studying Climate Change Through Surfing with Smartfin - We Are CSE: Jasmine Simmons

Smartfin is a surfboard fin that allows scientists to collect data
about the ocean with the help of surfers around the world. The
project brings together engineers from the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, and students from the Computer Science and
Engineering department at UC San Diego. Traditionally, it has been
difficult to collect data near the shore because waves damage any
instruments researchers place in the water. But, Smartfin turns
that challenge into an advantage by enlisting the help of the
surfing community. Series: "Computer Science Channel" [Science]
