Abstract
Environmental research increasingly relies on advanced technological systems to handle data collection, processing, and application at scale. However, issues like device interoperability, system scalability, and accessibility often limit adoption. This thesis presents a LoRaWAN-based environmental monitoring system developed as part of the National Science Foundation's Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) initiative. LoRaWAN’s energy-efficient and long-range communication capabilities make it ideal for applications such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, and industrial operations. The system integrates cutting-edge hardware and powerful open-source software frameworks to ensure seamless data collection and management. Comprehensive assessments of the system and its underlying technology demonstrate its reliability, energy efficiency, and scalability in varied operational scenarios. By addressing key technical challenges, this work provides a foundation for highly scalable, user-friendly environmental monitoring systems that meet the diverse needs of researchers, industries, and the general public.
