PermaSense: investigating permafrost with a WSN in the Swiss Alps
Currently, there is a lack of stand-alone geo-monitoring systems for harsh environments that are easy to configure, deploy and manage, while at the same time adhering to sciencegrade quality requirements. In a joint computer and geoscience pro ject we have built and deployed a wireless sensor networ...
