As Hurricane Irene moves up the east coast, two Temple researchers will be among many scientists collecting valuable data. Environmental science professor Laura Toran will be logging storm-water data. Trying to capture data during such events can be a tricky proposition. "You either get really cool data, or you lose your equipment," Toran said. If successful, the data can help find solutions for dealing with such climate events in the future. "We need to plan for them," said Jeffrey Featherstone, director of Temple's Center for Sustainable Communities. "Hopefully the gauges will hold, and we’ll be able to get some good information."
