TEMBO Africa
Transformative Environmental Monitoring to Boost Observations in Africa
Our Objectives
Our ambition is to close the environmental in situ data gap in Africa. To fulfill this ambition our general objective is to have cost-effective innovative sensor networks that can be financed by the climate services we develop using these sensors. First, we build on recent sensor technology to make measurements cost-efficient. Then, applications are developed that generate large socio-economic value in the fields of geo-hazards, water management, and agricultural information
