"Our goal is to investigate the relationship
between in situ observations and landscape level
processes in order to better understand ecosystem
dynamics." (more)
REAL sensor platforms transmit data over a
hierarchical, wireless sensor network to
bridge large distances while conserving
overall sensor network power. Data is
initially delivered to a sensor server
for storage and relay to remote servers
or grid services for further analysis and
processing to better enable ecological
inquiry... (more)
A central theme of our acoustic monitoring
is to be able to identify species based on
their acoustic signatures in near
real-time. A sensor data stream is a time
series comprising continuous or periodic
sensor readings. Typically, readings taken
from a specific sensor can be identified
and each reading appears... (more)
Our case studies leverage sensor
technologies, infrastructure, and on-line,
automated analysis techniques to
investigate the relationship between
acoustics and ecological indicators. Our
preliminary studies are promising and show
that there is a positive correlation
between acoustics and ecological indices... (more)
When ecological sensor platforms collect
data continuously, automated processing
facilitates the organization and searching
of the resulting data repositories.
Without timely processing, the sheer
volume of the data might preclude the
extraction of information of interest.
Addressing these problems will... (more)
