7 years of MacGyver sessions at EGU and AGU: what happened?

The session that this poster is in, the: “Self-made sensors and unintended use of measurement equipment”, also known as the “MacGyver-session” has had 7 years of scientists contributing their self made devices, hacks and solutions with the hydrological community. In 2009, the first session was held at the AGU fall meeting and since 2011 a session is also organised at the EGU General Assembly. On this poster, and in the accompanying review paper, we will present an overview of the work presented in the last 7 years, cataloging the work of the inventive scientists who have contributed to these successful, and above all: fun, sessions.
