System Of Environmental Analysis (SEA): An Underwater Environmental Sensor And Its Applications

Summary
System of Environmental Analysis (SEA), a portable environmental sensor for liquids which can track pH, ambient temperature, humidity, and which contains a peristaltic pump for sample collection, was developed for the Ship Biscuit & Salted Beef Research Project at Texas A&M University to record changes in chemical composition and other features of cask contents. A prototype of SEA was designed to record the data from the sensors and send the data via Bluetooth communication. Environmental sensor technology has been used for environmental impact assessments; however, it has not been applied within archaeology to a significant degree. With the further development of wireless communication and the addition of a pressure sensor, potential applications of SEA within archaeology include underwater environmental monitoring to determine appropriate conservation treatments and development of diving safety protocols in toxic environments. This technology can be integrated with remotely operate vehicles (ROV) to enrich the underwater environment research.
