RiverNet

Introduction

The RiverNet project addresses the development of distributed sensor networks for monitoring of environmental variables that occur as dispersed dynamic fields, and demonstrates this capability through observations of the Hudson River and Estuary. Current research on the Hudson River and Estuary addresses topics in particulate transport, sediment and contaminants, as well as migration of biological species, including zebra mussels.

Sensor systems are being developed and implemented to provide monitoring capabilities for these domains. The Solar AUV developed in conjunction with the Autonomous Undersea Systems Institute (AUSI) and Falmouth Scientific (FSI) will play an important role in the observation systems.
