ABOUT US

The center for environmental sensing and modeling (censam) has been established under the auspices of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) in January 2008 with support from the Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF).

The grand challenge of censam is to provide proof of concepts in the paradigm of pervasive monitoring, modeling and control within the highly developed and carefully managed urban environment of Singapore. The long-term goal is to develop a representation of the natural and built environment that will seamlessly transition from micro-scale processes (at the level of an individual constructed facilities, 1-10km), to the meso-scale of the city-state of Singapore (10-100km) and the macrosystem of the coupled biosphere-atmosphere-ocean (at the regional scale, 100-1000km). Multiple resolution environmental models will assimilate remote sensing data from satellite and airborne platforms with ground observations from diverse sensor networks and mobile sub-marine AUV sensor platforms. The censam brings together a multidisciplinary team of MIT faculty with researchers from Singaporean academic institutions and industry.
