University of Alberta researchers are building a wireless sensor network that allows for clandestine data collection of environmental data in remote locations, with monitoring from anywhere in the world.

The sensors can continuously monitor data like temperature and luminosity. They’ll be deployed in two locations–including a rainforest–in Fall 2008.
