We are developing an entirely new sensor-based approach to the monitoring of soil carbon changes. The current state of the science, products and market relies on expensive and unreliable field measurements that are difficult to scale and/or modeling approaches that are partially to wholly abstracted from real-world changes in field conditions. Our new soil carbon…

Recently, IoT technologies have been used to monitor critical infrastructure in remote settings. Prior research has supported active O&M campaigns, quantified groundwater extraction rates, and evaluated service delivery approaches. In this study, continuous data collection was used to examine the operating characteristics of rural water infrastructure. Three research questions motivated this work: (1) What are…

Groundwater, water held underground in the soil or rock, is one of California’s most precious and contentious resources. Due to California’s climate and long-lasting droughts, roughly 85% of California’s population and much of its $50 billion agriculture industry rely on groundwater, as opposed to surface water, as their main water source.
