Advancements in environmental sensors are rapidly increasing the number and types of monitoring tools available, supported by improvements in edge computing, machine learning, and internet-of-things (IoT) cyberinfrastructure. In field locations with limited built infrastructure, these sensor networks require adoption of wireless data networking tools, including cellular, wifi, LoRa, and/or satellite communications to meet project objectives. Typically customized setups, this ad hoc approach can increase field study costs and time and limit the portability of research data networking infrastructure solutions across sites and projects. This session invites examples of wireless environmental data networking solutions for distributed sensing systems across all geoscience disciplines and tools. Presenters will highlight common needs, solutions, lessons learned, and recommended practices applicable to the larger community. The session will also identify challenges that would benefit from community collaboration through the AGU Distributed Sensing Technical Committee.
