An example of the pilot data being collected to inform this work can be seen in the figure on the right. Characterizing variation in the thermal profile of these intertidal environments will inform our understanding of temporal and spatial patterns in biodiversity and species interactions. This data will also serve as foundational information to motivate undergraduate learning and research.&nbsp;</font></div>

These sensors will characterize the temperatures experienced by organisms across the marsh platform over a span of years, allowing us to incorporate biologically relevant temperatures into our understanding of organismal physiology.&nbsp;</font></div>
