Abstract: A sensor system for collecting data regarding sub-surface material characteristics may include a multitude of sensor nodes, a data gateway, and a controller. Each sensor node may include a power supply and a communication device and the multitude of sensor nodes may include sensors distributed between underground sensor nodes and/or partially-exposed sensor nodes to collect data regarding sub-surface material characteristics. The data gateway may be coupled with any combination of the sensor nodes through wireless transmission data pathways and may receive and store at least some of the data collected by the one or more sensors. The controller may receive the data generated by the one or more sensors from the data gateway and display at least a portion of the data.

Abstract: A system for liquid level monitoring is provided. The system may include one or more rovers configured for placement on a surface of a body of liquid, a base configured for fixed placement on land, and one or more processors configured to determine one or more liquid levels of the body of liquid. The system may also include a remote server communicatively coupled to one or more components of the system via a network. The system may be further configured to display data associated with the one or more liquid levels.
