A project from the University of Maine monitors soil moisture using AI that over time learns to make a sensor network as efficient as possible, creating a low-energy way to track climate change ...

Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. will study a microwave sensor for a low-cost mission to monitor soil moisture and ocean-surface winds under a contract with the U.S. Air Force, the Boulder ...

Temperature is quite simple. He’s using a TMP36 sensor which is held a few inches above the soil. The moisture sensor is of his own design. It uses two building screws embedded in foam.

The sensors were developed by Ellenburgh’s team at UAH including Earth Science Student Specialist Nick Perlaky. They are part of a broader research effort to study soil moisture and fire effects.

We report the design and installation of a distributed soil moisture sensor network in a riparian zone within the Whitewater Basin in Central Kansas. The soil-moisture monitoring network used in this ...
