Edge Sensing

Hydrological Inference
Human Verification
Autonomous nodes anchored into volcanic basalt measure soil pore pressure, ground acoustics, and precipitation metrics continuously without standard grid power.
Sub-gigahertz LoRaWAN transceivers link across mountain ridgelines without cellular dependence, routing packet bursts directly to solar-powered valley gateways.
Interpretable models correlate saturation velocity with slope gradients, projecting flash flood and debris risks three to six hours in advance.
Designated community observers and district wardens cross-check sensor readings on mobile tablets before activating village siren alerts.
Zero casualties in Bududa
In October 2023, extreme rainfall saturated the steep upper slopes of Mount Elgon. Low-power ground nodes detected acute acoustic shear and soil saturation spikes, triggering early warnings four hours ahead of slope failure.
Because data feeds into established local evacuation protocols, parish wardens relocated 420 households before the mudslide reached the valley basin. Ground instruments and human judgment operated in tandem.
Access research telemetry
We grant verified climate institutions, data engineers, and regional researchers structured access to our raw hydrological time-series archives.
