ROADNet will enhance our capacity to monitor and respond to changes in our environment by developing both the wireless networks and the integrated, seamless, and transparent information management system that will deliver seismic, oceanographic, hydrological, ecological, and physical data to a variety of end users in real-time.

The ROADNet multidisciplinary science and technology team is building upon currently deployed autonomous field sensor systems, including sensors that monitor fire and seismic hazards, changing levels of environmental pollutants, water availability and quality, weather, ocean conditions, soil properties, and the distribution and movement of wildlife. ROADNet scientists are also developing the software tools to make this data available in real-time to a variety of end-users, including researchers, policymakers, natural resource managers, educators and students.

From the ROADNet project to you, we bring a snapshot of our current progress with regard to the various sensor integration tasks we have taken on. This page is likely to be quickly out dated. Since it is a snapshot, it will not be updated as we make more progress. This document does not address the other aspects of the ROADNet project such as data display, storage and analysis on which we have also made significant progress on.
