Hi All,
I am an ecologist studying impacts of climate change on biodiversity. Measuring climate variables in remote locations is a major challenge in my work. Arduino looks like it has great potential as a flexible, modular control system for remote logging applications.
There has been previous discussion of this sort of application on the forum:

And some research applications are out there:

I am very new to the Arduino community, but I am interested to make contact with people who would like to be involved in developing some of these ideas further? I have placed some further info about what I have in mind here on my blog. :
