Research into Earth’s History made Possible by Embedded Technology
Climate change is one of the most troubling areas of research that is currently under way. While the scientific community is without doubt carrying out a lot of tests to accurately measure and ascertain the extent to which the world’s climate and its patterns are changing, the technology used may not be to their advantage in many ways. Legacy systems and the commonality of devices is one of the biggest hurdles for research. Embedded software based technology is one of the simplest, yet effective ways in which this can be overcome.
Polar ice is dwindling, oceans are expanding and for the most part the natural cycles of polar ice formation and dissolution are heavily modified for the worse. Scanners, machinery, and research equipment with specific, modular, embedded software can make it simpler for researchers to make real-time projections based on accurate samples in the field. Machines that can not only collect evidence, but also study a number of things like the constant interaction between ice shelves in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions can help in comprehending their behavior. Data thus obtained can be instrumental in searching for ways to slow it down or even reverse the effects in the long run.
