Sensor networks have an exciting role to play in our measurement and understanding of the natural environment. Systems are just beginning to emerge from labs and be deployed in a wide range of earth sensing operations. The aim of this session is to look at problems and solutions encountered in whole deployed systems and their components. The focus is on the real world issues and designs needed to make sensor networks practical, from the sensors, through communications to the web issues. Each of these steps has its own challenges, as well as the overall problem of system integration. We aim to showcase working examples of fully integrated sensor networks from a range of environments (e.g. marine, glacial, fluvial, soils, volcanic, habitat).

We encourage people to present work in progress, PhD projects and interdisciplinary work in the area. It is an ideal opportunity for different research communities to come together to exchange ideas and techniques. Posters can be requested for those who prefer that to giving a talk. ePosters can be produced from your poster if you like. There is no full paper submission - see the Abstract Submission Policies. If you have any questions contact one of the conveners.
