Steve Glaser in COE Innovations article: "Smart Sensors in the Woods"

Featured Faculty: Steven D. Glaser

Wireless sensors developed by Steven Glaser are being tested in an ambitious pilot project directed by hydrologist Roger Bales at the UC Merced Sierra Nevada Research Institute.

The Berkeley-Merced collaboration uses a specially designed new generation of sensors that are the size of matchbooks and feature wireless, communicating microprocessors known as motes. These motes measure soil moisture, snow depth and other features critical to predicting spring and summer water availability.
