With support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the UCSD team has initiated
a new project to develop and test new CI for wireless sensor networks.  This project includes
science partners from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the University of California at
Santa Barbara, California State University at Northridge, and the University of Wisconsin at
Madison. The project also includes technology partners at Erigo Technologies. The focus is
on new field-deployable intelligent sensor pods build on small embeddable computers and
cell phones.  DataTurbine will be extended/enhanced to run on the Android platform and interface
to various sensors through the Sea-Bird inductive modem.  The new devices will communicate
via Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite networks.  The products will be demonstrated and evaluated
in real-world deployments involving coral reef and lake monitoring at the Moorea LTER site,
the Palmyra Atoll, and the North Temperate LTER site. The CI developed under this project
will be applicable to a wide variety of environmental observing projects.
