This project will develop a sensor network and leverage anonymized mobile data to create and validate a real-time natural asset monitoring system. It will utilize a data fusion approach by collecting and compiling many different sets of data to validate server-based solutions that will automate aspects of natural asset assessment, monitoring and measurement, and improve the delivery of ecosystem services to human residents. In doing so, a data environment will be established that will allow for software service applications running on 5G mobile networks.
