ABSTRACT

At Clemson University, Dr. Christopher Post was heading a Forestry research program to observe the e¡ects of development on the rivers and streams of the local area. To accomplish this task, a need arose for a wireless sensor network to be deployed in rivers near ongoing development to monitor the depth and turbidity of the water. Ÿe network also needed to be capable of reliably transmitting sensor data back to a server at Clemson University. Due to the remote nature of the deployment, the analysis of mote data is used to detect and report malfunctions.
