Earth day 2013 – 10th Anniversary of Climate Calculator
Yes. That’s right. Weather Logistics uses a dusty climate change calculator developed in its current form during spring 2003.

Engineers and GeoSpatial (GIS) Scientists Required
Terra Byke is currently looking for business team members who can assist with the (a) the development of robust Earth Observation (EO) sensors to be integrated on bicycles e.g. electronic engineers, and (b) the interpretation of the EO data e.g. GIS / computer scientists. Each bike with a unit will be exposed to a range of extreme conditions including, but not limited to: extreme cold, snow/ice, high wind chill, rain / moisture etc combined with dirt, mud and water associated with off-road tracks. To overcome some of these issues, the instrumentation (GPS, data storage, mobile / transmitter or receiver technology) will be housed in a well vented and compact unit. The engineer must be able to demonstrate that he/she can integrate GPS, data storage, mobile / transmitter technology and has similar experience in past roles. The GIS / computer science position would involve interpretation and mapping of output data on an irregular grid. This data must be presented to a public audience for suitable e-learning and clients. Terra Byke will also need an engineer to assist with the upkeep, calibration and ongoing maintenance of faulty electronics housed on cycles. To help form part of an exciting business team, please contact me on +44(0)7949187732 or by email: admin at terrabyke.com.
More Info Soon, including online registration!
